How to Make Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Cookies

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup cold butter, cubed
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups peanut butter chips

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, mix the butter and both sugars on medium speed for 2 minutes until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides as needed.
  3. Add the cocoa powder and mix until combined.
  4. With the mixer still on medium, add the eggs, vanilla, baking soda, and salt. Mix for 1 minute until smooth.
  5. Turn the mixer to low and slowly add in the flour, mixing until just combined. Stir in the peanut butter chips.
  6. Scoop the dough using a 3-tablespoon cookie scoop onto the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 9-11 minutes until the edges are set, but the centers may appear slightly under-baked (this is perfect!).
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 3 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy these fudgy cookies with every bite of peanut butter goodness!
