Marbled Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Nothing beats chocolate and peanut butter in cookies! I love how the some-what salty peanut butter combines with the sweetness of the chocolate chips.

These peanut butter chocolate chip cookies are a wonderful treat for Snickers bar lovers – it’s made of 2 different kinds of dough (both very easy to make), and has so much chocolate and peanut butter inside! These chocolate chip cookies are a melt-in-your-mouth decadent treat that is also great for Christmas.

Marbled Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

• Based on this recipe, with a few changes and adjustments.

20-30 cookies

For peanut butter dough:
250 grams smooth peanut butter
200 grams sugar
1 large egg
100 grams dark chocolate, chopped

For chocolate dough:
100 grams soft butter
70 grams sugar
30 grams dark brown sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1 large egg
140 grams all-purpose flour
70 grams cocoa powder
1 tsp. baking soda
2 diced Snickers bar
50 grams chocolate chips

Preparation:

1. Peanut butter dough: in a large bowl mix peanut butter, sugar and egg until slightly sticky dough forms.
2. Add chopped chocolate and stir to disperse evenly in the dough.
3. Chocolate dough: in a bowl of a mixer with a paddle-attachment put butter, sugar, brown sugar, vanilla and salt and blend at high speed until the mixture is soft and creamy.
4. Scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula and add egg. Blend mixture until it is absorbed.
5. Add flour, cocoa and baking soda and mix just until the large clumps of dough form.
6. Add the most cubes Snickers bar (keep some for decoration) and the chopped chocolate and mix briefly only to disperse in the dough.
7. Preheat oven to 170c degrees and line an oven tray with baking paper.
8. Form 2 types of dough into small balls of similar size. Merge 2 balls together to create a cookie and put on the pan. Decorate with leftover Snickers bar.
9. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown, yet a little soft in the center.
10. Cool completely on a rack and serve.

Notes:

• Keep the cookies in an airtight container up to one week.
• You can use any kind of chocolate bar you like.
