For the Brownie Batter
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour substitutable with gluten-free flour for a GF version

  • 1 teaspoon Baking powder substituting baking soda is perfect for the cookie dough
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1 cup Sugar brown sugar adds a caramel-like richness
  • 1/2 cup Butter coconut oil is an excellent substitute for a dairy-free option
For the Peanut Butter Cookie Dough
  • 1 cup Peanut butter (creamy or crunchy) natural peanut butter is also a great choice
  • 1/2 cup Sugar sweetness necessary for the dough
  • 1 cup Flour adds texture to the cookie dough
  • 1 teaspoon Baking soda leavening agent for lighter cookies
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract enhances the flavor profile beautifully

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter, sugar, and eggs, whisk until smooth. Add cocoa powder, flour, and baking powder; mix gently until just combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together peanut butter, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually mix in flour and baking soda until a soft dough forms.
  4. Pour brownie batter into the prepared pan. Drop spoonfuls of peanut butter cookie dough over the batter, gently pressing down.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until edges look set and center is soft. A toothpick inserted should come out with a few moist crumbs.
  6. Allow to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing into squares.
