Choco Peanut cookies: Best of both in one piece

I love to have some cookie in the kitchen, it's the best small treat that give you comfort.

There are a load of cookie recipes, but my favourites are chocolate and peanut butter. So this time, rather than making chocolate or peanut butter, I put both of them into 1 cookie instead, haha. 
Just make each of the cookie dough, brownie chocolate chip cookie and peanut butter cookie, and press them together before baking, and you get best of both in one piece.
The trick that you have to remember is when shaping the cookie, dampen you hand a bit will prevent the dough to stick to your hand, it makes your life easier. 
I bake mine for 13 minutes but it depends on your oven, as long as you love the results (the texture of the cookie that you want) you can use more or less time. 
If you want it to be drier and firmer, let it cool completely before bake them in 150C oven again for 10-15 minutes.
