These double chocolate peanut butter cookies the stuff that your chewy, chocolatey dreams are made of! If you're a rich dessert fanatic, you need to make them asap. They're one of those throw-together cookie recipes that is so easy to make for a party or gathering. And they have that glorious chocolate and peanut butter flavor combo that will have everyone begging for the recipe.

I found this recipe in an old church cookbook that I found at our annual church rummage sale. That place is always a goldmine for old cookbooks, and this year was no exception! I made a few small changes to my own tastes, but for the most part, the recipe is intact.

Tips for making Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

• Line your sheet pans for easy clean up. You can use parchment or Silpat.
• I feel like a good cookie scoop is a game changes for making cookies, they help get a uniform size every time which I love.
• You could totally freeze this dough and that thaw it to bake for an upcoming party or chocolate binge. I haven't tried baking them frozen, so if you do, please comment and tell me how it worked out!
• You can also freeze these after you bake them and cool completely to thaw whenever the craving strikes!
• I opted for dark chocolate cocoa powder for this because I wanted them to be really rich and extra chocolaty. If you are not a huge dark chocolate fan, you can totally swap it out for the same amount of regular cocoa powder.
• In terms of chocolate chips vs. peanut butter chips, you can alter the ratios to your liking. The original recipe only uses peanut butter chips but I wanted these to be chocolate peanut butter cookies with chocolate chips as well. So basically you can keep the amount of "chips" the same and divide with between whatever combo of chocolate and peanut butter chips you'd like.
• The will be good for up to a week on your counter in an air tight container. I like to put a piece for bread in with them to help keep them soft and chewy.

Course Dessert

Cuisine American

Servings 4 dozen cookies

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 ¼ cups butter, softened (I use salted because I like a saltier cookie but unsalted is great too)
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups flour
• ¾ cups Hershey's dark cocoa
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 1 cup peanut butter chips

Instructions

 

• Preheat the oven to 340 degrees and line sheet pans with a silat or parchment paper. Set aside.
• Cream butter and sugar with a mixer until light and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes.
• Add eggs and vanilla extract and beat until well combined.
• In a separate bowl combine flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. Add into the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
• Stir in chocolate chips  and peanut butter chips until evenly distributed.
• Scoop 1 inch balls onto lined cookie sheet and bale for 8-9 minutes. Don't over bake. The cookies will be soft and chewy; they will puff when the bake and flatted as they cool.
• Cool slightly and then remove from the sheet pan. Serve warm or completely cooled and store for up to a week in an air-tight container with a slice of bread in it (to help the cookies maintain their chewy texture).
