Brownie Swirled Peanut Butter Oreo Cookies

Picky Palate's Note:

This is one of my own creations from my blog, www.pickypalate.blogspot.com Brownies, Peanut Butter and Oreos. Need I say more?!!

• Total Time: 25 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 36

Yield: 36 cookies

• 118.29 ml butter
• 118.29 ml peanut butter
• 118.29 ml sugar
• 118.29 ml brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 2.46 ml vanilla
• 295.73 ml flour
• 3.69 ml baking soda
• 1.23 ml baking powder
• 1.23 ml salt
• 8 Oreo cookies, broken into pieces
• 519.64 g brownie mix, of choice

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F
2. Cream the butter and sugars until well combined. Add in peanut butter until well combined. With mixer on low beat in egg and vanilla until smooth.
3. Sift flour, baking soda and powder, and salt into a large bowl. With mixer on low slowly add in dry ingredients and broken oreos until just combined. Pour cookie dough onto a rimmed cookie sheet and press to about ½ inch thick, doesn’t have to be totally flat or reach edges of cookie sheet, just spread out.
4. Prepare brownie mix according to package directions. Take 3 tablespoons of brownie batter and drizzle evenly over cookie dough. Take a toothpick and gently swirl brownie batter into cookie dough only a few times. You should be able to see clear brownie swirls.
5. With a medium cookie scoop, scoop cookie dough with brownie swirls onto a parchment or silpat lined baking sheet. Bake for 9-11 minutes or until cookies are cooked through but still soft. Let cool for 3 minutes on baking sheet before transferring to a cooling rack to cool. Serve and enjoy!
6. **Save and bake the remaining brownie batter after cookies are done baking at 350°F according to package directions***.

Yum! Great recipe. I didn't do the whole brownie-swirl step since I didn't have a brownie mix on hand. PB Oreo cookies are great! Thanks.

Oh! These are delish! My family went crazy for them. DH & DS finished off a whole batch of cookies in less than 6 hours! I'm shocked! And, I'm glad I got to test at least one. lol The technique for these was very interesting & it worked like a charm. The dough was easy to work with. I loved the brownie swirls & the chunks of Oreo (I used Double Stuff) & DH & DS loved the peanut butter. There was something for all of us in these. :) Thanks for sharing your recipe, Picky Palate!
