Description
Delicious peanut butter brownie cookies drizzled with white chocolate for a delightful treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (for drizzling)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and stir until everything is well combined and glossy.
- Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until the dough is thick and fudgy. It should resemble brownie batter but be thick enough to scoop.
- If you have time, chill the dough for 30 minutes. This helps the cookies hold their shape and enhances the chewy texture.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop the dough into tablespoon-sized balls and place them about 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, just until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft. They’ll continue to cook a bit on the pan.
- Let the cookies cool completely. Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Use a spoon or piping bag to drizzle the white chocolate over the cookies in zig-zag lines.
- Let the chocolate set before storing—or eat them warm for maximum meltiness.
Notes
- Chilling the dough is optional but recommended for better texture.
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of white chocolate chips.
- Store cookies in an airtight container for up to a week.
