Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Brownies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Combine 2 1/2 cups white sugar, 1 cup melted butter, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Beat in eggs one at a time with an electric mixer, mixing well after each addition until thoroughly blended.
• Sift 1 1/2 cups flour, cocoa powder, and salt together in a bowl. Stir flour mixture gradually into butter mixture until blended. Spread batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until an inserted toothpick comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes.
• Combine milk and vinegar in a large bowl and let stand for 5 minutes until milk sours. Add 1/2 cup butter, peanut butter, 1/2 cup white sugar, and brown sugar; stir until mixture is smooth and fully combined.
• Sift 1 1/4 cups flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a small bowl. Mix into peanut butter mixture until well blended.
• Spread peanut butter mixture over warm brownies. Drizzle melted chocolate chips on top. Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours before cutting into squares.

Steps:

• Beat the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla in a large bowl with a mixer on low speed until combined. Increase the speed to medium high and beat until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
• Reduce the speed to low, add the toasted flour and beat until combined, about 30 seconds. Add the milk, increase the speed to medium and beat until creamy, about 30 seconds. Stir in the peanuts. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight.

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.

Steps:

• Microwave the flour in a small microwave-safe bowl for 1 minute. Remove and stir well. Microwave for an additional minute or until the temperature reaches 180 degrees F. Sift into a medium bowl, then whisk in the baking powder and salt (see Cook's Note).
• Beat the peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, butter, yogurt and vanilla with an electric mixer on medium-high speed in a large bowl until well combined, about 2 minutes. Add the flour mixture and mix on low speed until well incorporated. Turn off the beaters and use your hands to help combine if needed.
• Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray the bottom and sides of an 8 by 8-inch pan with cooking spray.
• For the brownies, microwave the butter and unsweetened chocolate in a microwavable bowl at high power until the butter is melted, about 2 minutes. Stir until combined, then mix in the vanilla extract. Meanwhile, beat the sugar and eggs in a large bowl and add in the chocolate mixture. Stir in the flour, baking powder, salt and chocolate chunks. Spread the brownie mixture evenly into the prepared pan. Bake until the brownies are set and a toothpick inserted in the center of the brownies comes out clean, about 22 to 28 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 30 minutes.
• For the peanut butter cookie dough: Add the butter and brown sugar to a large bowl and mix until creamy. Mix in the milk and the peanut butter, then stir in the flour and salt. Spread the peanut butter cookie dough evenly over the cooled brownies.
• To make the ganache: In a small microwavable bowl, microwave the dark chocolate chips and heavy whipping cream, uncovered, on high for 1 minute, stirring after 30 seconds. Continue stirring until the chips are melted and the mixture is smooth. Spread the ganache over the peanut butter layer and sprinkle with the chopped peanuts. Refrigerate until the dough and ganache are set, about 1 hour. Cut into 16 squares and arrange on a serving platter to serve.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Generously grease bottom and sides of 13x9-inch pan.
• In medium bowl, make brownie batter as directed on box. Pour 1 1/3 cups batter into pan; spread evenly. Bake 10 minutes. (Set remaining brownie batter aside.)
• Meanwhile, in another medium bowl, stir together remaining ingredients to make cookie dough.
• Remove partially baked brownies from oven. Cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
• With knife, gently score top of partially baked brownies to help brownie layer and cookie layer stick together. Press cookie dough over brownies. Top with remaining brownie batter.
• Bake about 45 minutes longer or until toothpick inserted 2 inches from side of pan comes out almost clean. Cool completely, about 1 hour, before cutting. Cut into 6 rows by 4 rows.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Prepare brownie batter according to box directions (but do not cook!).
• In a greased mini brownie or mini loaf pan (12 slots per tray) press cookie dough in the bottom of each slot.
• Put an upside down Reese cup in each on top of the pressed dough.
• Top by pouring brownie mix evenly over each slot.
• Bake approximately 18 minutes (will vary by oven).
• Allow to cool, if you can wait, and enjoy :).

Steps:

• Cook your brownies according to directions on the box for a 9x13-inch pan.
• Once they are out of the oven, take 3 Tablespoons of peanut butter and gently spread it over your warm brownies. Let them sit and cool.
• With an electric mixer, cream the butter and 1/2 cup peanut butter until smooth.
• Add the sugar, brown sugar, milk and vanilla, and mix until smooth. Carefully add the flour, and continue to mix at low speed until fully combined.
• Spoon the cookie dough onto the cooled brownies and spread gently into an even layer.
• Sprinkle on all of the M & M's so they are spread out across all the brownies.
• Melt the last 3 Tablespoons of peanut butter in the microwave (about 30 seconds) and drizzle over your brownies.
• Cover and place in refrigerator until serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Beat Brownie mix, melted butter, cream cheese and egg with spoon until well blended (dough will be sticky).
• Drop dough by tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet to make 24 cookies.
• Place approximately 2 inches apart.
• In another bowl mix peanut butter and powdered sugar with spoon until mixture forms a ball.
• With hands, roll teaspoonfuls peanut butter mixture into 24 balls.
• Lightly press 1 ball into center of each ball of dough.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 14 minutes or until edges are set.
• Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets.
• Cool at least 30 minutes.
