Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (200g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (200g) brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (50g) cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon (5g) baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5g) salt
- 1 cup (250g) creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup (175g) 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 stir in vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in peanut butter and chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are set but centers are still soft.
- Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
- Softened Butter: Ensure butter is truly softened (not melted) for the best creamy texture when combined with sugars.
- Don’t Overmix: Mix dry ingredients into wet until just combined to keep cookies tender and chewy.
- Undercake Slightly: For fudgy centers, pull cookies when edges are set but centers are still soft. They will continue to set as they cool.
