Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the creamy peanut butter, softened melted butter, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, blending just until incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt before gradually mixing it into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- In another mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and white sugar until the mixture is smooth and shiny, about 2 minutes. Stir in the cocoa powder, followed by the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Finally, fold in the flour, baking powder, and salt along with the chocolate chips until just combined, creating a rich brownie batter.
- Wrap both doughs in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once chilled, take cookie scoops of each dough and place them side by side on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the cookie doughs together.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes. Keep an eye on the cookies; they should have lightly crackly tops and slightly set edges, while the centers remain soft.
- Allow to cool on the baking sheet for about 5-10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
Ensure ingredients are at room temperature for a smoother dough. Avoid overmixing to maintain the marbled pattern. Use a cookie scoop for consistency and watch the baking time to keep centers soft.
