Chocolate peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies

What is better than chocolate and peanut butter? Nothing. Nothing is better than chocolate and peanut butter. Especially in a cookie. These soft brownie like cookies won't last long in your kitchen! I promise!

What you'll need:
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup light brown
1 large egg, room temperature preferred*
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup + 2 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 Tablespoons milk
1 and 1/2 cup peanut butter/chocolate chips plus a few more to press on top

Using a handheld mixer cream the butter on medium speed for about 20 seconds. Add the sugars with the mixer running on medium speed. Cream it all together until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

In a separate medium size bowl, toss the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt together. Slowly add to the wet ingredients with the mixer running on low. The dough will be very thick. By hand, stir in the milk, then fold in the white chocolate chips. The dough will become thick and very sticky.

Chill the dough for at least 2 hours covered with saran wrap. Do not skip this step!

Preheat that oven to 350F degrees. 

 Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat. Set aside.

Take 2 Tablespoons of chilled dough and roll into a ball. Place on cookie sheet and press a few more peanut butter chips on the top.

Bake for 14 minutes. Cookies will appear undone and very soft.

These cookies are so soft and delicious, they will be a family favorite for sure! A big glass of cold milk and a few cookies and you're in for a fantastic, chocolatey, peanut buttery treat!
