Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl Cookies
Delightfully chewy cookies that combine the rich flavors of chocolate and peanut butter in a beautiful swirl. They're not heavy or overly sweet either.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips melted
Instructions
Preheat and Prepare
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Make the Dough
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Divide and Flavor
- Divide the dough in half.
- Mix the peanut butter into one half and the melted chocolate into the other half.
Create the Swirl
- Drop spoonfuls of the peanut butter dough and chocolate dough side by side onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Use a butter knife to gently swirl the two doughs together to create a marbled effect.
Bake
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
