Equipment

  • KitchenAid Stand Mixer
  • Refrigerator
  • Oven

Ingredients

  • 2 cups All Purpose Flour
  • 1-½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¾ cup cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • 2 Sticks Unsalted Butter melted
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 10 ounces Peanut Butter chips plus additional for topping

Instructions

  • Stir together flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; set aside.
    2 cups All Purpose Flour, 1-½ teaspoon baking powder, ¾ cup cocoa powder, ½ teaspoon salt
  • Using a KitchenAid Stand mixer fitted with a flat paddle attachment, mix melted butter and brown sugar until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla; beat for 30 seconds on medium speed. Gradually add flour mixture, on medium low beating well until incorporated. Stir in peanut butter chips.
    1 cup Brown Sugar, 2 Sticks Unsalted Butter, 2 eggs, 2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 10 ounces Peanut Butter chips
  • Place the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
  • Once you are ready to bake. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Using a medium cookie scoop, place the raw cookie dough about 1-2 inches apart onto ungreased parchment lined cookie sheet.
  • Bake for 9 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit on the baking tray for 5 minutes. Then, carefully remove each cookie and let cool completely on a wire baking rack.

Notes

  • Yield - Depending on the size you make the cookie depends on how many you will yield. This recipe makes 4-½ dozen cookies (about 54 cookies).
  • Butter - 1 stick of unsalted butter yields ½ cup or 4 ounces. This recipe calls for 1 cup butter or 8 ounces melted.
  • Soft and Chewy - If you are looking for soft and chewy cookies the combination of the melted butter mixed in with the brown sugar will yield a soft and chewy cookie.
  • Refrigerate - You need to refrigerate your dough for at least 30 minutes and up to 24 hours before baking.
  • Do Not Over Bake - Do not be tempted to over bake the cookies. The cookies will be soft upon removing from the oven. Let them sit and set for a few minutes before removing off the baking sheet as they will continue to cook and set. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Storage - Store cooked cooled cookies in a cookie jar or an air tight container for up to 1 week. Although, best to consume within 3 days of making.
