Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 unit large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Scoop the dough into tablespoon-sized balls and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Gently flatten each dough ball slightly with the palm of your hand or the back of a spoon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9–11 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers look slightly underbaked. Do not overbake to maintain their chewy texture.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
