Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1.5 cups peanut butter chips
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer for best results.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the peanut butter chips and optional semi-sweet chocolate chips with a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes. The edges should be set, but the centers may still look slightly soft—this helps achieve a chewy texture after cooling.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your chocolate peanut butter chip cookies with a glass of cold milk or your favorite beverage!
