Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Ensure ingredients are at room temperature.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Cream the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract, then mix in dry ingredients.
  3. In another bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Cream the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and creamy peanut butter until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract, then mix in dry ingredients.
  4. Take equal portions of chocolate and peanut butter dough, roll them together gently to create a swirl pattern, and place them on prepared baking sheets.
  5. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are set but centers remain soft. Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
