Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup sugar granulated
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup dark cocoa powder
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp coarse salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup peanut butter chips
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your cookies bake evenly and develop that perfect golden-brown color.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the 1 cup of unsalted butter and 1 cup of sugar together with an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to incorporate air into the batter for a lighter cookie.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of dark cocoa powder, 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tsp coarse salt, and 1 tsp baking powder. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  • Gently fold in 1 cup of peanut butter chips and 1 cup of chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  • Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until edges are set and tops appear slightly underbaked.
  • Remove cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Ensure cookie dough balls are uniform in size for even baking.
  • Chilling the dough for 30 minutes enhances flavor and texture.
  • Mix and match chocolate types like dark, semi-sweet, or white chocolate for variety.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week or freeze for up to three months.
