- 1 cup (227 g) Butter unsalted room temperature
- ⅔ cup (133.33 g) White sugar
- ½ cup (110 g) Light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons (2 teaspoons) Vanilla extract
- 2 (2) Eggs room temperature
- 2 ¼ (2 ¼) All-purpose flour
- ¾ cup (64.5 g) Cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) Baking soda
- ½ teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) Baking powder
- ½ teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) Salt
- 1 cup (170 g) Peanut butter chips
- ½ cup (90 g) Semisweet chocolate chips
Weigh both sugars into a bowl and set them aside. Next, weight the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together into a bowl, whisking to blend.
Add the butter and sugars into a mixer bowl and mix on a medium speed until fluffy and light in color, about 3 minutes. Scrape the sides of the bowl and add the vanilla extract. Then add 1 egg at a time until blended through the butter-sugar mixture.
Turn the mixer to a low speed and add the dry ingredients gradually to the butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract mixture. Cocoa powder is very light and will go everywhere if added too fast. Finally, add the peanut butter and chocolate chips.
Put the bowl with the cookie dough into the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C or 180°C) and line your cookie sheet pan with parchment paper. Use a medium size cookie scooper and drop them onto the sheet pan, spacing the scoops about 2" apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes and let them cool on the pan for about 1 minute before moving to a cooling rack.
