Description

These Peanut Butter Brownie Swirl Cookies combine the rich, fudgy flavor of brownie mix with the creamy, nutty taste of peanut butter. Soft and chewy with a slight crunch on the edges, these cookies are perfect for peanut butter lovers looking for a quick and delicious treat. The addition of optional chocolate chips adds an extra layer of chocolatey goodness to each bite.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 box brownie mix (for a 9×9″ pan, 18.5 oz)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
  • 1/2 cup butter (softened)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional

  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.
  2. Mix base ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the brownie mix, peanut butter, softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Stir these ingredients together until they are fully blended and form a consistent mixture.
  3. Add eggs and dry ingredients: Crack in the large egg and add vanilla extract, then gradually stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt until a cohesive cookie dough forms.
  4. Shape cookies: Using a spoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
  5. Add chocolate chips: If you choose to use chocolate chips, gently fold them into the dough before scooping out the cookies to evenly distribute them.
  6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops show slight cracks, indicating doneness.
  7. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to firm up, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • Peanut butter can be creamy or chunky based on preference.
  • Chocolate chips are optional but add extra chocolate flavor.
  • Do not overbake to keep cookies soft and chewy.
  • Cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
  • For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free brownie mix and gluten-free flour.
