Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Step 1: Prepare Peanut Butter Dough - Cream together the peanut butter, softened butter, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add in egg and vanilla, mix well. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt, then blend with wet ingredients until just combined.
  2. Step 2: Make Brownie Dough - Combine melted butter, white sugar, and cocoa powder. Whisk smooth. Beat in another egg and vanilla, then fold in flour, baking powder, salt, and chocolate chips until no dry streaks remain.
  3. Step 3: Chill Doughs - Cover both doughs and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Swirl Cookies - Preheat oven to 350°F. Drop portions of each dough onto the baking sheet and swirl together gently.
  5. Step 5: Bake - Bake for 9-11 minutes until edges are set. They will continue to bake on the sheet.
  6. Step 6: Cool - Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
