- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

- Gradually mix in the milk, flour, and powdered sugar until a thick cookie dough forms.
- Drop spoonfuls of the peanut butter cookie dough evenly over the top of the brownie batter.

- Cool completely on a wire rack before lifting out of the pan and slicing into squares.
