Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup peanut butter chips
- flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips or peanut butter chips if using.
- Scoop out 1-tablespoon portions of dough and roll into balls. Place onto the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
- Flatten each dough ball slightly with a fork to create a crisscross pattern, if desired.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft. Do not overbake.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
