1. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

2. 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

3. 1/2 cup granulated sugar

4. 1/2 cup light brown sugar

5. 1 egg

6. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

7. 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

8. 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

9. 1/4 teaspoon salt

10. 1/2 cup cocoa powder

11. 1/4 cup chocolate chips

Directions:

Preheat Oven:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Prepare the Cookie Dough:

2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.

3. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing well.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until well combined.

6. Divide the cookie dough in half. To one half, mix in the cocoa powder until fully incorporated.

Create the Swirl Cookies:

7. Take a small amount of each dough (plain and cocoa) and gently swirl them together to create a marbled effect.

8. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.

9. Press a few chocolate chips onto the top of each cookie for extra chocolatey goodness.

Bake the Cookies:

10. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft.

11. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
