Scale

Dry Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour (The foundation of our cookie, ensuring a soft yet sturdy texture.)
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (Brings a rich chocolate flavor.)
1 teaspoon baking soda (Provides lift for the cookies.)
1/2 teaspoon salt (Enhances sweetness.)

Wet Ingredients

1 1/4 cups granulated sugar (For a sweet, delightful flavor.)
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar (Adds moisture and depth of flavor.)
1 cup salted or unsalted butter, softened (For a melt-in-your-mouth taste.)
2 large eggs (Provides structure and moisture.)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract (Enhances flavor.)

Main Ingredient

2 cups peanut butter chips (The star of the show, adding gooey pockets of flavor.)

Instructions

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well mixed.
In a large bowl, cream together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and butter using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract, beating on medium speed until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the sifted flour mixture, scraping down the bowl’s sides as needed, until the dough is fully moistened.
By hand, gently stir in the peanut butter chips until evenly distributed.
Use a medium cookie scoop to portion the dough onto the lined sheets, spacing the balls about 2 inches apart.

Baking

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers remain soft.
Allow cookies to cool on the pan for 2-3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze for longer storage. For healthier options, consider low-sugar or dairy-free substitutions.
