Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Cream the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add Egg and Vanilla: Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
Prepare the Brownie Dough: Divide the dough in half. Mix the brownie mix and water into one half of the dough until well combined.
Create the Swirl: Gently fold the two doughs together a few times to create a marbled effect—don’t overmix.
Scoop and Bake: Scoop tablespoons of dough onto the baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Press mini chocolate chips on top if desired. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set and the centers are slightly soft.
Cool: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For extra crunch, add chopped peanuts or pecans to the dough.
Swap in white or dark chocolate chips for different flavors.
Adjust the marbled look by swirling the dough more or less, depending on your preference.
