Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter with granulated and brown sugar for about 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy. Beat in an egg and vanilla extract, then gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Then, cream together softened butter with both sugars until fluffy. Mix in the peanut butter, followed by the egg and vanilla. Fold in the dry ingredients until just incorporated.
  4. Take equal portions (about 2 tablespoons each) of your chocolate and peanut butter doughs. Roll them together gently, maintaining distinct swirls. Place the swirls on your prepared baking sheets, spaced 2 inches apart.
  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set and the centers are slightly soft.
  6. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for the best texture. Do not overmix to keep swirls intact. Use a cookie scoop for consistent size and even baking. Monitor baking time closely to avoid dryness. Chill dough if it spreads too much.
