Description

These Chocolate Peanut Whirls are a classic treat for peanut butter and chocolate lovers. The recipe creates two distinct doughs: one rich with melted chocolate and the other studded with crunchy chopped peanuts. When baked together, they form beautiful marbled swirls that are soft on the inside with slightly crisp edges. Perfect for afternoon tea, holiday cookie exchanges, or packing in lunchboxes, these cookies offer a satisfying balance of sweet and salty flavors. They are easy to make from scratch and store well in an airtight container, making them a reliable favorite for any occasion.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375&# 194;°F (190ðC). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or waxed paper.
  2. Melt 1 oz unsweetened chocolate and let it cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar together until light and creamy.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the oats.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
  7. Divide the dough in half.
  8. Stir the melted chocolate into one half of the dough until evenly distributed.
  9. Stir 1/4 cup finely chopped salted peanuts into the other half of the dough.
  10. Place the chocolate dough onto the center of a sheet of waxed paper. Roll into a rectangle.
  11. Place the peanut dough on top of the chocolate dough, aligning the edges.
  12. Using the waxed paper, roll the two dough layers together tightly into a log.
  13. Wrap the log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes until firm.
  14. Remove from fridge and slice the log into 1/2-inch thick cookies.
  15. Place slices on the prepared baking sheet, spaced 1 inch apart.
  16. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
  17. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
