Cookie Butter Chocolate Swirl Cookies

A few years ago I made some super yummy Peanut Butter Chocolate Swirl Cookies.  It was a huge hit with the fam.  Since I had a lot of cookie butter on hand, I decided to make Cookie Butter Chocolate Swirl Cookies!

I used the same chocolate cookie dough recipe, and for the cookie butter dough, I found a recipe online.

They are as delicious as they look!
