Ingredients
  

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup brownie batter (store-bought or homemade)

1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Mix the Peanut Butter Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until well combined and smooth.

      Add Egg and Flavorings: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated and creamy.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking soda, salt, and flour. Gradually add this dry mixture to the peanut butter mixture, stirring until just combined.

          Swirl in the Brownie Batter: Gently fold in the brownie batter, creating a marbled effect. Do not overmix; you want to see both the peanut butter and brownie swirls.

            Optional Chocolate Chips: If using chocolate chips, gently fold them into the cookie batter for an extra chocolatey touch.

              Shape the Cookies: Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop heaping spoonfuls of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space in between for spreading.

                Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The center may appear slightly soft; this is okay as they will firm up as they cool.

                  Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Enjoy: Serve the cookies warm or at room temperature with a glass of milk for the ultimate treat!
