Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup (softened) unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup (packed) brown sugar
- 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 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
- 0.75 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
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, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula or spoon.
Roll the dough into 1.5-inch (3.8 cm) balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches (5 cm) of space between each ball.
Gently flatten each cookie dough ball with the back of a fork, creating a slight criss-cross pattern.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will firm up as they cool.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
