Swirl Cookies

Peanut Butter Chocolate Swirl Cookies

When you can't choose between peanut butter and chocolate these are the cookies to bake. These are the cookie form of reeces. They are part peanut butter and part chocolate. The two flavors combine to form the perfect cookie. 

My used to be favorite doctor that worked at urgent care recently left. Gina and I made these for her as a going away treat. Her going away party was at a korean BBQ. Man was it delicious. 

Since two different types of doughs are being used, it is important to chill the doughs. Otherwise one side may bake a little faster and one side will end up a little flatter.

1 egg
