Peanut Butter Chocolate Swirl Cookies

Whereas the likes of apple pie, carrot cake, and oatmeal raisin cookies will all the time be my favourite desserts, there’s no hiding my adoration for a very good peanut butter and chocolate combo. And I do know many expensive readers share that love! These no-bake peanut butter bars are a fast and simple year-round favourite, and this towering chocolate peanut butter cake is a well-liked showstopper.

So when it got here to creating a top-notch peanut butter and chocolate cookie mixture, I turned to 2 of my best recipes: smooth and thick peanut butter cookies and double chocolate chip cookies. And when mixed, they’re completely epic.

I initially revealed this recipe again in 2013, and I haven’t modified the recipe in any respect. You simply don’t mess with perfection. 😉

Right now’s 2-for-1 combo cookies have been a favourite since day 1. Every time I serve them, tasters flock to the cookie tray. Right here’s why:

• The cookies have soft-baked, extra-thick facilities with barely crisp edges.
• They’re ginormous and loaded with chocolate chips.
• Eye-popping, mesmerizing swirls!
• You’ll be able to have 2 cookies on the identical time. Who doesn’t need that?!

Sure, you’re making 2 cookie doughs at this time. I promise each are very straightforward!

When you’ve been visiting my web site through the years, likelihood is you’ve tried each cookie doughs earlier than; I take advantage of them all around the web site. When you haven’t had an opportunity to strive them, let me make a fast introduction.

For each cookie doughs, you want the standard lineup of cookie substances. Pay particular consideration, although, to those 2:

1. Peanut Butter: For the peanut butter dough, I like to recommend utilizing creamy processed peanut butter, like Jif or Skippy. Whether or not you’re making these cookies, peanut butter snickerdoodles, or actually any peanut butter-based cookies, processed creamy peanut butter gives you the most effective style and soft-baked texture.
2. Unsweetened Pure Cocoa Powder: Do you know that not all cocoa powders work the identical in baking recipes? And most of it is determined by the leavening brokers. When you’re within the science behind it, I am going into loads of element in my publish on the distinction between Dutch-process and pure cocoa powder. Since you’re utilizing baking soda within the chocolate cookie dough, attain for unsweetened pure cocoa powder. When you’re in search of methods to make use of up a jar of Dutch-process cocoa, strive my chocolate buttercream or these selfmade brownies (there’s no leavening in both).

Shifting on to these fairly cookie swirls! The meeting course of is definitely fairly easy:

1. Take 2 Tablespoons of chilled peanut butter cookie dough and roll right into a ball.
2. Take 2 Tablespoons of chilled chocolate cookie dough and roll right into a ball.
3. Take each the peanut butter and chocolate cookie dough balls, and gently press them collectively. Utilizing your palms, roll them into 1 giant cookie dough ball. (They are going to be large—about 1/4 cup of cookie dough per cookie.)
