Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Cookies
These Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Cookies are rich, chewy, and packed with sweet peanut butter chips. They taste just like a soft, fudgy peanut butter cup in cookie form! With a classic chocolate chip cookie base, these cookies bake up with a slightly crisp edge and a soft, melt-in-your-mouth center.
Ingredients
- 1 cup + 2 tablespoons butter softened
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 10- ounce package peanut butter baking chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs and vanilla, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Whisk together the dry ingredients (flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt) in a separate bowl.
- Gradually combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Fold in the peanut butter chips evenly.
- Scoop the dough into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each.
- Bake for 8 minutes, removing while slightly underbaked for a soft, chewy texture.
- Let cookies cool for 2-3 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack.
