Yes, I am aware that last week I posted a Peanut Butter Chocolate Dessert! Yes, I am also aware that I have an addiction to anything peanut butter and chocolate. BUT…. I have a feeling that after you see these you will not hate me for repeating the combo. These are absolutely DELICIOUS! And that is not an exaggeration. I am typically not a cookie baker. It seems like they always come out of the oven wonderfully soft but as soon as they cool they are too hard. I always dream of making the soft bakery style cookies you can buy and have them stay soft for days. Well friends, this is that cookie!
These are similar to the Gingerdoodle Cookies I made last Christmas. They do require you to make two batches of dough but they are definitely worth it and it isn’t as much work as you may think. The chilling of the dough, which is extremely important, is the longest part. Then rolled together they bake out to be a large soft cookie. With a peanut butter-y side and a fudge-y side and the whole thing dotted with dark chocolate chips. My only tip is to have your glass of milk ready!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup UNSALTED BUTTER, room temperature
- 1/2 cup SUGAR
- 1/2 cup BROWN SUGAR
- 1 EGG
- 1 teaspoon VANILLA
- 1 cup FLOUR
- 1/2 cup + 2 Tablespoons UNSWEETENED COCOA POWDER
- 1 teaspoon BAKING SODA
- 1/2 teaspoon SALT
- 2 Tablespoons MILK
- 1 cup DARK CHOCOLATE CHIPS
- 1/2 cup UNSALTED BUTTER, room temperature
- 1/2 cup BROWN SUGAR
- 1/4 cup SUGAR
- 1 EGG
- 3/4 cup CREAMY PEANUT BUTTER
- 1 teaspoon VANILLA
- 1/2 teaspoon BAKING SODA
- 1 1/4 cups FLOUR
- 1/4 teaspoon SALT
- 1 cup DARK CHOCOLATE CHIPS
Instructions
- Cream the butter and sugars together on medium speed until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla until combined, scraping the sides as needed. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Slowly mix it into the wet ingredients. With a spoon or spatula, mix in the milk and then fold in the chocolate chips.
- Cream the butter and sugars together on medium speed until light and fluffy. Mix in the peanut butter, egg, and vanilla, scraping the sides as needed. Slowly mix in the baking soda and flour. Do not overmix. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Wrap each dough in plastic wrap and place in the fridge. Chill both doughs for at least 1-2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheet with silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Measure 1-2 Tablespoons of each dough. Roll into one large ball. Repeat for each cookie. Bake the cookies for 11-12 minutes. The cookies will look very soft, puffy, and almost undone. Still remove them from the oven as they will continue to "bake" and set up. Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 10 days! ENJOY!!
