Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup creamy peanut butter
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla and peanut butter until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just combined.
Fold in chocolate chips.
Scoop tablespoon-sized dough balls onto prepared sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly with your hand or a fork.
Bake 8–10 minutes, until edges are set but centers remain soft.
Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack.
Notes
Do not overbake—cookies will continue to set as they cool.
For extra indulgence, drizzle cooled cookies with melted chocolate.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
