Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1¼ cups unsalted butter, 2½ sticks, softened
  • 2 eggs, large, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup cocoa
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 10 oz peanut butter chips, 1⅔ cups

Instructions
 

  • Heat oven to 350°.
  • In a large bowl, beat sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in eggs and vanilla.
  • In a separate bowl, combine flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. Add to butter mixture; beating until well combined.
  • Stir in peanut butter chips until distributed evenly into the cookie dough.
  • Drop by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 9 to 10 minutes. Do not over-bake. The cookies will not look like they are done but they will puff up a little when baking and then they'll drop when they are cooling. They are soft with a little crunch around the edges.
  • Cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes and then move them to a cooling rack. Store in an airtight container.
