Chocolate Chunk Peanut butter swirl Fudgy cookies

1 cup creamy peanut butter
2 sticks butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 TBSP vanilla
1 3/4 cup flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups chocolate chunks (I used chocolate chips)
1 cup cocoa powder

1) Preheat oven to 350
2) Put peanut butter in the freezer till firm (about 30 minutes)
3) cream butter and peanut butter add eggs and vanilla, beat until well combined
4) mix in dry ingredients and chocolate chunks slowly mixing until just combined. Then drop dollops of frozen peanut butter into dough and turn mixer on for just a few turns of the mixer to get swirls of peanut butter through the dough. Scoop dough onto cookie sheets and bake for 14 min let cook on baking sheet for 5 min then transfer. (this recipe says to cook for 14- 16 min) I think they are ok at 14 but I think a minute or 2 less would be great they would be a bit softer. They weren't hard, I just like my cookies softer.

1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 1/8 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 banana (the riper the better)
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 1/2 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cup quick oats
1 bag chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350
Cream butter, and sugars till fluffy. Add eggs beating well then stir in vanilla, banana, and peanut butter.
Combine flour baking powder, soda, and salt and stir in gradually to creamed mix. Then stir in oats and chocolate chips drop by spoonfulls.
They say this is sticky so if you don't have a silpat you might want to use parchment paper.
Bake for 8-10 min I use 12 when using my silpat but they were perfect soft in the middle and a crisp on top.
