2011Chocolate Chunk Peanut Butter Swirl Fudgy Cookies
Tags: chocolate, chocolate chunk, peanut butter
When I split this warm chocolate cookie open and saw the chocolate oozing out, I about fainted with excitement, lol! Swirls of peanut butter accompany giant chocolate chunks. This cookie will go down as one of my favorite recipes by a mile 🙂
Kind of reminds me of one of my favorite ice cream flavors I used to get when I was a little girl. Chocolate with peanut butter swirls at Thrifty. I actually still love it and I REALLY love it in this cookie 🙂
Take a peek and enjoy!
First, place 1 Cup of creamy peanut butter into the freezer for a good 1/2 hour. Next use a good quality bloc of chocolate and chop it up into large pieces like this. This particular chocolate is Sarris….which is incredible 🙂
Cream your butter and sugars.
Add your eggs and vanilla, mixing until well combined.
Time to add the dry ingredients.
…..and the cocoa powder.
….add those chocolate chunks right into the cookie dough.
Take your frozen peanut butter out of the freezer and place dollops into the dough. Turn mixer on for just a few turns of the paddle to ensure you get swirls into the dough.
Mama mia!
Double mama mia 🙂 Take a spoon to this, it’s incredible!
Scoop them onto your favorite cookie baking sheet and pop them into oven at 350 for 10 to 15 minutes.
Enjoy friends!

Jenny these look…amazing!!
They look so decadent, dark, fudgy, rich. MMMMm….goooooood!
The last pic, with that melty chocolate, oh lord have mercy!
And yes, Sarris chocolate is awesome! That and Scharffen Berger are the bomb. But really most chocolate will make me happy 🙂
Thanks so much Averie 🙂
There is no way I could make these alone. I’d need major supervision.
Delicious — I love the BIG chunks of swirled peanut butter!
i agree with lauren…this is definitely something i’d need adult supervision around 🙂
Every time you make a recipe, it’s better than the last… how do you do it?!
You are the sweetest 🙂 Thank you!
Oh save me… this looks astounding.
Oh. My. Gosh. That first photograph with the melted chocolate sucked me in and I can’t stop staring at the screen! I need these. 🙂
Oh my these look amazing! Not a huge fan of peanut butter but I also love chocolate ice cream with peanut butter swirls. I WANT THESE COOKIES NOW! Fudgy! Chocolaty! Peanut Butter! I give these cookies 5 stars even though I haven’t tried them. Let me tell u about something yummy. Next time you have plain chocolate chip cookies or chocolate chocolate cookies with chocolate chips, smother the cookies with Nutella, pour milk on the cookies,and put ice cream on top. Soooooooooo delicious! Please tell if u try it and it turns out nice!
AAAAAAIEEEEE! These cookies look evil. PURE EVIL!
I’m about ready to eat my monitor.
I was going to be good this week, but this is making me want to make cookies for breakfast!!
I think if I had to choose one desert to eat for the rest of my life, it would be these. They look like the prefect combo of chocolate & peanut butter/cookie & brownie. Props!
Oh my gosh, my stomach started crying as soon as I saw that oozing chocolate! Thanks for sharing 😀
I love you I hate you I love you I hate you I love you I hate you <3
These look yummy! Where do you buy your chocolate? I haven’t found that soft tortilla bread yet either. I think I need to move a little further down the 5 😉 These look so good and if they are anything like Thrifty’s chocolate with PB swirls I have to make them! Thanks for another fun recipe to try with my boys! 🙂
Well there’s nothing really to say…we mean, chocolate and peanut butter fudge-y deliciousness!?? HEAVEN.
Now that is one beautiful cookie!
Um, wow. How could these *not* be someone’s favorite cookie? 🙂
Just look at all of that gooey goodness. Now I need a big glass of milk!
Chocolate chip cookies are the favorite at my house. But these look so good, I will have to try them . Excited about picking the chocolate to make “chunks”.
That was my favorite part!!
These are going on my must make list!
My eyes are tearing up at the sheer beauty of all that melted chocolate. I need one NOW.
Lol! Thanks Stephanie 🙂
OMGosh, Jenny, these look so delish! I’m seriously about to “drool” all over my laptop!
🙂 CAS
All I can say is YUM!
Heaven in a cookie!
WOW! These look so good! I wish I could make these but I can not have peanut butter in my house because my daughter is allergic. I am so sad because those look amazing!!

These look delicious! Oh my goodness! – I tried your Oreo stuffed chocolate chip cookies this weekend. I posted a pic on my blog and linked your page! Can’t wait to try these!
Oh cool Abbey, I’ll come take a peek at your Oreo Stuffed cookies 🙂
Seeing these cookies on Instagram I could tell you had something great coming our way. They look awesome!
Goodness gracious! These look awesome! Wish I had some right now! Peanut butter & chocolate…yummy!!!
SQUUUEEEE!!!!! I want these in my belly!! I don’t have good chocolate though =( Next time I need to bake cookies, these are at the top of my list!
Hope you enjoy!!
Did you use baking chocolate or regular chocolate? I can’t wait to try these
Just regular semi sweet or milk chocolate Karen 🙂
These look fantastic! Can’t wait to try them. I have one question though…is there really supposed to be 1 TABLESPOON of vanilla? Most of the other cookie recipes I use only call for 1 teaspoon of vanilla.
Yes, 1 Tablespoon is correct. I always use 1 Tablespoon in my cookie recipes 🙂 Hope you enjoy!
I made these today and they were delicious! Thanks for the great recipe.
These look utterly amazing! I know what I’ll be baking next. Thanks for a delicious looking recipe.
Love.
I’ve always wondered how to get a nice swirl like that. Lovely recipe. I’ve pinned it!
These look amaaaaazing. I think I’m drooling. This is approximately the 3rd choco/pb recipe I’ve seen while going through my google reader this morning…I think it’s a sign that I need to do some baking!
These are making my drool! They look ooey gooey delicious!
I feel like I gain ten pounds just LOOKING at all the wonderful goodies you post here!–but the satisfying kind of poundage, that comes from enjoying every single bite, haha. These look amazing!
Made these tonight with the kiddos, they were a hit. Thank you!
I made these last night and they are AWESOME!! I had to package them up and distribute them to friends out of fear that I would eat them all. I’m surprised that I didn’t wake up in the middle of the night straight for more.
[…] must confess as I write I am in the throngs of grand domestic endevaor (Shout out Chocolate Chunk Peanut Butter Swirl Fudgy Cookies)So, every fourteen minutes there will be a short intermission…well, if this was in real time […]
OMG…I just made a batch…I could just stand there and eat the dough! Wow! Thanks for sharing! I will be back for more, for certain!
