Peanut Butter Chocolate Swirl Cookies are what go in the oven when you and I want classic soft peanut butter cookies dressed up with glossy ribbons of real melted chocolate. The dough is rich and buttery with brown sugar and creamy peanut butter, while the quick chocolate swirl bakes into marbled streaks that look bakery‑worthy without any complicated dough‑splitting or chilling.
Why you’ll love these cookies
These cookies come together fast—one bowl for the dough, one small pan (or bowl) for the chocolate—and you’re baking in about 15 minutes. The base is a soft, slightly chewy peanut butter cookie, and the chocolate swirl adds just enough bittersweet richness to balance the sweetness.
The swirl technique is forgiving and fun: drizzle the melted chocolate over each scoop of dough and drag a toothpick or skewer through for a marbled effect. There’s no need to roll, chill, or cut shapes, but you can chill the dough if you prefer thicker, puffier cookies.
