Peanut Butter Brownie Cookies
The inspiration for this cookie comes from one of our local ice cream chains here in Austin. Lick ice cream creates their flavors from in season, locally sourced ingredients, so the flavors are ever changing and are super fresh. The milk comes from pasture raised cows from local farms and their flavors are super inventive. From goat cheese and thyme to tres leches and chocolate olive oil sea salt. The last time we went there they had a peanut butter fudge ice cream, which at first sounds pretty plain. Something you’d find in a grocery store freezer. But the flavor was phenomenal. The peanut wasn’t too overpowering, just enough to get that fresh peanut flavor surrounded by a swirl of deep dark fudge that wasn’t too sweet. It’s the way peanut butter fudge was meant to be! It hit an inspirational nerve with me - I was planning on baking up a batch of Smitten Kitchen’s Cut Out Brownie cookies…why not swirl it together with a great natural peanut butter cookie!?
