PEANUT BUTTER BROWNIE SWIRL COOKIES



Peanut Butter Brownie Swirl Cookies image

Why settle for one cookie flavor when you can have three? Peanut butter, sugar cookie and fudgy brownie batter are swirled together and baked into one giant cookie, making for a slice-and-bake you'll want to serve at parties and keep in the freezer for a weeknight cookie fix.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 8h20m

Yield 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note), plus more for dusting
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
Kosher salt
4 sticks (1 pound) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/4 cups dark brown sugar
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder

Steps:

  • For the peanut butter cookie dough: Whisk together 2 cups flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl.
  • Beat 1 stick plus 2 tablespoons butter, 1/2 cup dark brown sugar and 1/2 cup granulated sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add 1 egg and beat until completely incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Beat in the peanut butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla until creamy. Reduce the speed to medium and add the flour mixture, then beat until completely incorporated. Turn out the dough and form into a 3/4-inch-thick rectangle, then wrap tightly in plastic. Freeze until beginning to firm up, 30 minutes. (Do not over-chill or the dough will crack when rolled.)
  • Meanwhile, make the sugar cookie dough: Whisk together 2 cups flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl.
  • Beat 2 sticks butter and 1 cup granulated sugar together in a large bowl on medium-high speed with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add 1 egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla and beat until completely incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Reduce the speed to medium, add the flour mixture and beat until completely incorporated. Turn out the dough and form dough into a 3/4-inch-thick rectangle and wrap tightly in plastic. Freeze until beginning to firm up, 30 minutes. (Do not over chill or the dough will crack when rolled.)
  • Make the brownie batter: Whisk the cocoa together with the remaining 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Melt the remaining 6 tablespoons butter and whisk with the remaining 3/4 cup dark brown sugar in another medium bowl until incorporated. Add the remaining 2 eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla and whisk until smooth with no large lumps of sugar remaining. Fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture and stir vigorously for 15 seconds until the batter is very thick and smooth.
  • Generously flour a large piece of parchment paper and roll the peanut butter dough into a 16-by-12-inch rectangle. Repeat with the sugar cookie dough. Using the parchment to help you, lift the sugar cookie dough and flip it onto the peanut butter dough, parchment-side up, so that edges of both doughs are lined up. Brush off any excess flour and trim the edges to square off all sides. Evenly spread the brownie batter over the entire surface of the sugar cookie dough using an offset spatula. Position the dough so that one of the short sides is facing you. Working from the bottom edge closest to you and using the parchment to help you, roll the dough up tightly, peeling back the parchment as you roll and form a tight log. Keep the log covered in parchment and freeze until firm, about 30 minutes. Remove from the freezer and roll gently on the counter to create a more circular log. Freeze until solid, at least 5 hours and up to 24.
  • Position 2 oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Slice half the frozen dough with a sharp knife into 1/2-inch slices (keep the remaining dough frozen until ready to bake) and place on the lined pans spaced 2 inches apart (about 6 per sheet). Bake, switching the positions of the cookie sheets halfway through, until the peanut butter cookie is golden brown but the sugar cookie is still blonde, 14 to 18 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to racks to cool completely.
  • Let the baking sheets cool completely, then slice the remaining frozen dough and repeat.
  • Store the cookies in a tightly sealed container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

PEANUT BUTTER AND CHOCOLATE RICE CRISPY SWIRLS



Peanut Butter and Chocolate Rice Crispy Swirls image

I got this yummy PB and chocolate crispy treat recipe from a friend of a friend and have looked on the Rice Crispy website for the same recipe and here on recipezaar and haven't found one exactly like it...similar recipe here on receipezaar yes, but not the same and none of them jelly rolled it and cut them into swirls which is different and cute! This recipe makes 16 swirls or you can divide the recipe into two logs and make mini swirls. And the best way to roll your log is with a silicone baking sheet liner called SILPAT ( google it )...it worked REALLY well! Nothing sticks to it...nothing!

Provided by Amy Duchesne

Categories     Bar Cookie

Time 30m

Yield 16-32 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 a cup golden syrup
3/4 a cup smooth peanut butter (or 3/4 a cup of chunky peanut butter for added texture )
3/4 a cup granulated sugar
4 1/2 cups crispy rice cereal
1/4 a cup butter (or 1/4 a cup of margarine )
4 tablespoons milk
1/4 a cup cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups , powdered sugar*

Steps:

  • In a medium sauce pan over medium-low heat, combine the corn syrup, peanut butter and sugar. Melt together stirring repeatedly until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the sugar does not completely dissolve but you feel the mixture is smooth enough you can take off of the heat.This may take 5-10 minutes.
  • In a large mixing bowl combine the peanut butter mixture and the Rice Crispies. Work quickly to coat the cereal completely.
  • Turn out the mixture onto a large greased cookie sheet or onto a silicone baking sheet liner ( SILPAT -you can google it ).
  • At this point you can place the mixture into a 9x13 casserole dish and later cover it with the chocolate icing or you can proceed as follows for some cute swirls!
  • Work fast to spread out the mixture into a 1/2 flat rectangle -- following the contours of the cookie sheet as much as possible.
  • Cool off the mixture in the fridge or freezer for 5 mins or so ( you don't want to over cool it because you still have to roll it ).
  • While the mixture is cooling you can quickly assemble the chocolate glaze. In a small mixing bowl combine the butter and the milk. Heat up in the microwave for 1-2 mins, melting the butter. Now add the cocoa powder and mix well with a whisk to get out all the lumps. Add the powdered sugar *you may need more than the recipe calls for to obtain a nice thick glaze, add more by the tablespoon. I followed the recipe and was fine.
  • Take out the cooled off cereal mixture from the fridge and drizzle your chocolate glaze. I only needed 1/4 of the chocolate glaze and we loved the result -- but to each his own so add as much or as little as you want. But remember the more you add the more chance you have of it leaking out the sides.
  • Using your greased hands ( if you don't have a SILPAT you might want to grease your hands ) or the edges of your SILPAT, roll the cereal mixture into a log. You can compress the mixture and seal up any cracks along the way -- it is very easy to work with.
  • Refrigerate for 30 mins to an hour before slicing into swirls.

Tips:

  • Use creamy peanut butter for a smooth swirl. If you prefer a chunky swirl, use chunky peanut butter.
  • Make sure the butter and cream cheese are at room temperature before using. This will make them easier to mix together and will help to create a smooth batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the muffins tough.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will usually take about 20-25 minutes.

Conclusion:

Peanut butter swirl muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of these muffins that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy recipe, give these peanut butter swirl muffins a try!
