Ingredients
  

For the Brownie Cookie Dough:

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup packed light brown sugar

4 large eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

½ teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

For the Peanut Butter Swirl:

½ cup creamy peanut butter

2 tablespoons powdered sugar

1 tablespoon milk

Instructions
 

Prepare the Peanut Butter Swirl:

    - In a small bowl, mix together the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

      Make the Brownie Cookie Dough:

        - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

          - In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Whisk until well blended.

            - Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

              - In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

                - Fold in the chocolate chips.

                  Create the Swirls:

                    - Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of brownie cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

                      - Take a small spoon or knife and place a dollop of the peanut butter mixture on top of each cookie dough portion.

                        - Use a toothpick or the tip of a knife to gently swirl the peanut butter into the brownie dough. Be careful not to over-mix; you want to see the swirls.

                          Bake the Cookies:

                            - Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops look slightly cracked.

                              - Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

                                Serve and Enjoy:

                                  - Once cooled, enjoy the rich chocolate brownie cookies with delightful peanut butter swirls. These cookies are perfect for sharing or indulging on your own!
