Marbled Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Peanut Butter Dough

01 - ½ cup creamy peanut butter
02 - ¼ cup butter, softened
03 - ½ cup brown sugar
04 - 1 egg
05 - 1 tsp vanilla extract
06 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
07 - ½ tsp baking soda
08 - ¼ tsp salt

→ Brownie Dough

09 - ½ cup butter, melted
10 - 1 cup white sugar
11 - ⅓ cup cocoa powder
12 - 1 egg
13 - 1 tsp vanilla
14 - ¾ cup all-purpose flour
15 - ¼ tsp baking powder
16 - ¼ tsp salt
17 - ½ cup chocolate chips

# Instructions:

01 - In a bowl, beat the peanut butter, butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla. In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda and salt. Gradually mix into the wet ingredients until just combined.
02 - Whisk together the melted butter and white sugar. Beat in the cocoa powder until smooth, then the egg and vanilla. Fold in the flour, baking powder, salt and chocolate chips until no dry streaks remain.
03 - Chill both doughs for 30 minutes. Scoop 1-2 tbsp portions of each dough and place side by side on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the doughs together in a marble pattern.
04 - Bake at 350°F for 9-11 minutes, until the tops are lightly crackly and the edges are just set. The centers will still be quite soft.
05 - Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

# Notes:

01 - Centers will be soft when done
02 - Both doughs need chilling time
