Ingredients
-
1 cup creamy peanut butter
-
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
-
1 cup brown sugar
-
1/2 cup granulated sugar
-
2 large eggs
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
-
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
-
1 tsp baking soda
-
1/4 tsp salt
-
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, beat together the peanut butter, softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy.
-
Add in the eggs and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until just combined.
-
Fold in the chocolate chips.
-
Scoop dough into 1.5-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
-
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers still look slightly soft.
-
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
-
For extra texture, use chunky peanut butter or mix in chopped peanuts.
-
Add a pinch of sea salt on top before baking for a sweet-salty kick.
-
These freeze well—just cool completely and store in a zip-top bag.
