Ingredients

10 tablespoons butter, softened

1/2 cup white sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour I always add a little more to make them puffy.

1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, can use less if desired.

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 cups peanut butter chips, divided (may need more or less)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350.

Line baking sheet with parchment paper or non-stick cooking mat. Set aside.

In a large bowl cream together butter and sugars.

Mix in egg and vanilla extract. Set aside.

In a medium bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, salt and cocoa powder.

Add dry mixture into wet mixture. Stirring slowly until dry mixture is completely incorporated.

Add peanut butter morsels.

Use a mini ice cream scoop to scoop dough out and place onto prepared pans about 1½ inches apart.

Press several peanut butter morsels into each dough ball. if you feel like it.

Bake for 7-8 minutes. Cookies will not be done.

Remove from oven and leave cookies on cookie sheet to finish cooking.

When pan is warm, place cookies on a cooling rack to finish cooling.
