Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup peanut butter
- 0.25 cup cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until just incorporated to form a cookie dough.
Divide the dough evenly into two bowls. In one bowl, mix in the peanut butter until fully combined. In the other bowl, add the cocoa powder and milk and mix until smooth.
Using a spoon or your hands, alternately scoop small portions of the peanut butter dough and chocolate dough. Gently press the portions together without fully mixing, creating a marbled effect.
Roll the marbled dough into 1-inch balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
Gently flatten each dough ball with your palm or the bottom of a glass to about 1/2-inch thickness while keeping the marbled effect visible.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the cookies are lightly golden.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
