Salted Triple Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirled Brownie Cookies
by ari’s menu
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup peanut butter, slightly melted
- 1/2 cup white whole wheat flour
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp corn starch
- dash salt
- 4 oz dark chocolate, melted and cooled
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 tbsp apple butter
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chunks
- Sea salt for topping
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour peanut butter on in a thin layer. Transfer to the freezer to chill for 1 hour.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, corn starch and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat together chocolate, vanilla, apple butter, and sugars until well combined,Add almond milk, then slowly beat in dry ingredients until just combined.
- Remove chilled peanut butter from parchment paper (it should be solid, but bendable. Gently, fold peanut butter and chocolate chips into batter. Cover and chill for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silpat. Use a small cookie scoop to transfer dough to prepared cookie sheets. Add a small pinch of sea salt to each cookie. Press down dough balls to flatten slightly (they don’t spread when they bake, so if you don’t flatten them, you will end up with round cookies).
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until just set. Do not over bake. They will continue to cook themselves as they sit. Let the cookies stand on the pan until completely cooled. Store in an airtight container for one week (these cookies stay pretty darn soft and gooey for days!)
