Ingredients
  

For the Cookies
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter softened; for a dairy-free option, use margarine
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar provides sweetness and aids in browning; coconut sugar can enhance flavor complexity
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar contributes moisture and depth; feel free to use light or dark brown sugar interchangeably
  • 1 large Egg binds ingredients; replace with a flax egg for a vegan alternative
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract opt for pure vanilla extract for the best results
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour gives structure; try using gluten-free flour if you prefer
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda acts as a leavening agent
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt boosts overall flavor; sea salt offers a subtler taste
  • 1/2 cup Creamy Peanut Butter provides a smooth texture; almond or cashew butter work well as substitutes
  • 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips adds delicious chocolate flavor; can swap for dark or milk chocolate

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes). Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  4. Divide the dough in half; mix in creamy peanut butter to one half and semi-sweet chocolate chips to the other half.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of each dough onto the baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Use a butter knife to gently swirl the dough together.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden around the edges, then cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
