Ingredients
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat together butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy, about 2 minutes.
Add egg and vanilla extract; beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in chocolate chips.
Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are set but centers are still soft.
Let cookies cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Tips
For extra peanut butter flavor, use chunky peanut butter and add 1/2 cup peanut butter chips.
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
