Pay special attention, though, to these 2:<\/p>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Peanut Butter: <\/strong>For the peanut butter dough, I recommend using creamy processed peanut butter, like Jif or Skippy. Whether you\u2019re making today\u2019s cookies, <a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/peanut-butter-chocolate-chip-cookies\/\">peanut butter chocolate chip cookies<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/peanut-butter-snickerdoodles\/\">peanut butter snickerdoodles<\/a>, or really any peanut butter-based cookies, processed creamy peanut butter will give you the best taste and soft-baked texture.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Unsweetened Natural Cocoa Powder:<\/strong> Did you know that not all cocoa powders work the same in baking recipes? And most of it depends on the leavening agents. If you\u2019re interested in the science behind it, I go into plenty of detail in my post on the <a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/baking-basics-dutch-process-natural-cocoa-powder\/\">difference between Dutch-process and natural cocoa powder<\/a>. Because you\u2019re using baking soda in the chocolate cookie dough, reach for unsweetened natural cocoa powder. If you\u2019re looking for ways to use up a jar of Dutch-process cocoa, try my <a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/favorite-chocolate-buttercream\/\">chocolate buttercream<\/a> or these <a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/seriously-fudgy-homemade-brownies\/\">homemade brownies<\/a> (there\u2019s no leavening in either). <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Swirling the Dough<\/h2>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p>Moving on to those pretty cookie swirls! The assembly process is actually quite simple:<\/p>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Take 2 Tablespoons of chilled peanut butter cookie dough and roll into a ball.<\/li>\n<li>Take 2 Tablespoons of chilled chocolate cookie dough and roll into a ball. <\/li>\n<li>Take both the peanut butter and chocolate cookie dough balls, and gently press them together. Using your hands, roll them into 1 large cookie dough ball. (They will be big\u2014about 1\/4 cup of cookie dough per cookie.)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<p>That\u2019s it! Even easier than my <a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/peanut-butter-filled-brownie-cookies\/\">peanut butter-filled brownie cookies<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/peanut-butter-fudge-puddles\/\">peanut butter fudge puddles<\/a> \u2026 both of which you absolutely have to try sometime.<\/p>\n<figure

It\u2019s one of my top tips for <a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/tips-for-cookie-spreading\/\">how to prevent cookies from overspreading<\/a>. If you skip the chilling, you\u2019ll lose that pretty swirled dough and end up with peanut butter chocolate cookie puddles. I recommend chilling the dough in the vast majority of my <a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/category\/desserts\/cookies\/\">cookie recipes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Not to mention, dough that has not been chilled will make quite the mess on your hands during the swirling process! I\u2019m not saying your hands won\u2019t get covered in <em>any<\/em> dough, but the dough is much easier to handle when cold.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/soft-baked-peanut-butter-chocolate-swirl-cookies\/?tp_image_id=147597\" data-pin-description=\"Enjoy two soft-baked cookies in one with every bite of these thick peanut butter chocolate swirl cookies.

Roll into a ball. Measure about 2 Tablespoons (40g) of peanut butter cookie dough. Roll into a ball. Press the 2 balls together between your hands and roll them into 1 large ball. Repeat for each cookie. The chocolate cookie dough is particularly sticky, so wipe your hands clean after every few balls of dough you shape.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-6\">Bake the cookies for 12\u201314 minutes or until the edges appear set and the centers still look soft. <strong>Tip:<\/strong> If they aren\u2019t really spreading by minute 9, remove them from the oven and lightly bang the baking sheet on the counter 2\u20133x. This helps initiate that spread. Return to the oven to continue baking.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-7\">Cool cookies for 5 minutes on the baking sheet. During this time, I like to press a few more chocolate chips into the tops of the warm cookies. (This is optional and only for looks.) Transfer to wire rack to cool completely. The cookies will slightly deflate as they cool.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-8\">Cover leftover cookies tightly and store at room temperature for up to 1 week.<\/li>\n<\/ol><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"tasty-recipe-video-embed\" id=\"tasty-recipe-video-embed-76549\">\n<div class=\"tasty-recipe-responsive-iframe-container tasty-recipe-responsive-iframe-container-2c03bb0c\">\n<div class=\"perfmatters-lazy-youtube\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6Mjtx_XknOE\" data-id=\"6Mjtx_XknOE\" data-query=\"feature=oembed\" onclick=\"perfmattersLazyLoadYouTube(this);\">\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"YouTube video\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" nopin=\"nopin\" class=\"perfmatters-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/6Mjtx_XknOE\/hqdefault.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/6Mjtx_XknOE\/hqdefault.jpg\" alt=\"YouTube video\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" nopin=\"nopin\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Peanut Butter Chocolate Swirl Cookies | Sally&#039;s Baking\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6Mjtx_XknOE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Enjoy 2 soft-baked cookies in 1 with every bite of these thick peanut butter chocolate swirl cookies.
