👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prepare the Peanut Butter Dough
- Cream together the peanut butter, softened butter, and brown sugar until the mixture is fluffy.
- Mix in the egg and vanilla.
- In another bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir until everything is just mixed.
2. Make the Brownie Dough

- Add the cocoa powder and mix until smooth.
- Blend in the egg and vanilla.
- Fold in the flour, baking powder, salt, and chocolate chips until well combined with no dry spots.
- Refrigerate both doughs for about 30 minutes.
3. Shape & Swirl
- Scoop 1–2 tablespoons of each dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment.
- Position the scoops next to each other and gently swirl the two doughs together using a toothpick or skewer to create a marbled effect.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 9–11 minutes, until the tops crack slightly and the edges are set while the centers remain soft.
- Cool the cookies on the sheet for 5–10 minutes before moving them to a wire rack.
