Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder, unsweetened
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup peanut butter (creamy or natural)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Prepare the dough: In a medium bowl, combine the flour and cocoa powder to create the chocolate dough base. In another bowl, mix the peanut butter, sugar, and egg until smooth and creamy to create the peanut butter dough.
- Combine doughs: Take spoonfuls of both the chocolate dough and the peanut butter dough and gently swirl them together in a single bowl to create a marbled effect without fully mixing them.
- Shape cookies: Scoop portions of the swirled dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until they are just set around the edges but still soft in the center.
- Cool and serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them firm up while maintaining their chewy texture.
Notes
- Ensure not to overmix the doughs when swirling to maintain the visual marbled effect.
- Use room temperature peanut butter for easier mixing.
- Adjust baking time slightly depending on your oven for the perfect chewy texture.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
- Feel free to use natural or creamy peanut butter based on your preference.
