Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
- ½ cup peanut butter chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat & Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Melt Chocolate & Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chocolate chips together in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth. Stir in the melted chocolate mixture.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Mix Dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until a thick dough forms.
- Swirl in Peanut Butter: Drop spoonfuls of peanut butter into the dough and gently swirl it in without fully mixing.
- Scoop & Bake: Scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing cookies 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are soft.
- Cool & Enjoy: Let cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Notes
- For extra crunch, use crunchy peanut butter or add chopped peanuts.
- Want a gooey center? Slightly underbake and let them set as they cool.
- Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
