Peanut Butter Brownie Cookies

Step 1

First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

PREPARE PEANUT BUTTER MIXTURE: In a medium mixing bowl, using a spatula mix the peanut butter and softened butter together. Add the powdered sugar and continue to mix well. Once the peanut butter filling is combined, put it in the refrigerator until needed.

Step 3

PREPARE COOKIE DOUGH: Combine the brownie mix, eggs, melted butter, chocolate syrup, and vanilla together in a large mixing bowl. Stir in the flour until combined.

Step 4

Use a two tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop 12 cookie dough brownie balls.

Step 5

Using the end of a spatula, or your finger, create a divot for the peanut butter filling.

Step 6

Fill the divot with about 2 teaspoons of peanut butter filling.

Step 7

Use a one tablespoon cookie scoop to create another cookie dough ball. Spread the cookie dough ball out and place it on top of your peanut butter filling and press the edges together to enclose the peanut butter filling.

Step 8

Place cookies about 2-3” apart on your baking sheet and bake for 11 minutes.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet.

Step 10

Once cool, make the frosting by microwaving the semi-sweet chocolate in a microwave safe bowl in 20 second increments until melted - stirring between.

Step 11

Combine the peanut butter chips and coconut oil together in a microwave safe bowl and heat in the microwave in 20 second increments until melted and smooth - stirring between.

Step 12

Spoon about 1 teaspoon of peanut butter topping and chocolate topping on top of each cookie.

Step 13

Use a spoon to swirl and cover the top of the cookie.

Step 14

Let cool completely.
