Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 3/4 cup peanut butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 + 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 2 tbsp milk

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat your oven to 350℉ and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl add your peanut butter and softened butter and cream together.
  • Add your brown sugar, 1/2 cup of sugar and cream together until light and fluffy.
  • Add your eggs and vanilla and mix again.
  • Once, everything is well combined, add your dry ingredients. Flour, baking soda, cornstarch and salt. Stir until just combined.
  • Split your cookie dough in half and add your cocoa powder and milk to half of it. Fold until combined.
  • Scoop out your peanut butter cookie dough and chocolate peanut butter cookie dough and marble it together. I usually scoop out a little of each, put them together than break in half and roll back together.
  • Roll cookie dough into 1-2 inch balls and roll in the additional 1/2 cup of sugar.
  • Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper a couple inches apart and bake at 350℉ for 8-10 minutes.
  • Remove from oven, tap your pan down to create the creases. Let cool, share and enjoy!!

Notes

You can make these as just peanut butter cookies by leaving out the cocoa powder and milk and they are so good.
Can you chill the dough. Yes chilling the ough actually makes these cookies BETTER. You can chill them in the freezer for 30 minutes to 1 hour before baking or you can store the cookie dough in the fridge for up to one week and the freezer for 1 month.
