If you adore a rich chocolate cookie then you will love these peanut butter chip chocolate cookies. These big cookies are super chocolaty with a chewy and fudgy center and perfect crisp edges.
The only thing better than a chocolate cookie, is a chocolate cookie filled with peanut butter chips!! Yum.
These cookies are everything a chocolate cookie should be (at least in my opinion). Chewy, kind of fudgy on the inside then crisp, sort of flat edges. And if you a traditionalist chocolate chip cookie connoisseur i really think you'll like these.
Chocolate cookies can be tricky to make because cocoa powder is very drying. So you have to make sure that you aren't overdoing both the cocoa powder and flour, the balance has to be just right.
There were countless attempts on my end to get the perfect chocolate cookie, and I'm talking about years and years of trying. This one totally nails it.
You will love them.
Ingredients
Just a quick rundown of what you'll need. Make sure to reference the recipe card with a full list of ingredients, the amounts and the directions.
- butter
- brown sugar
- white sugar
- vanilla extract
- eggs (1 whole egg, 1 egg yolk)
- all purpose flour
- dutched baking cocoa powder (a bit different than the run of the mill cocoa powder)
- baking powder
- baking soda
- espresso powder (enhances the chocolate flavor)
- peanut butter chips
- semi sweet chocolate chips
How To Make Peanut Butter Chip Chocolate Cookies
Start by creaming together the butter and sugars. See the photo below? It should look similar. Mix in the vanilla, whole egg and egg yolk.
In a separate bowl sift together the dry ingredients, this gets any big lumps out and blends your cocoa powder and all purpose flour together.
Mix the dry into the wet ingredients, along with the peanut butter chips and chocolate chips.
Chill for 30-45 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350 about 10 minutes or so before the cookie dough comes out of the fridge. No sense in preheating it and having it run while the cookies chill.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a large 3 tablespoon size cookie scoop to scoop out even amounts of dough and space them out, they will spread. Roll into a ball then press them down a bit with the palm of your hand.
Bake for 10 minutes. They will look under baked but as they set they will be perfect. Once the feel like they won't fall apart, transfer them to a wire rack to continue cooling. They take a bit longer to cool then a regular chocolate chip cookie.
