These cookies combine the rich flavors of chocolate and peanut butter into a delightful treat that's perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
In a mixing bowl, beat the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until creamy.
Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
Add the egg to the mixture and beat until fully incorporated.
Crack the egg into a separate bowl first to avoid shell pieces.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder.
Sifting the dry ingredients can help avoid lumps.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Do not overmix to keep the cookies tender.
Fold in the chocolate chips gently.
Reserve a few chocolate chips to place on top of the cookies for presentation.
Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
Use a cookie scoop for uniform sizes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set.
Do not overbake; the cookies will continue to set as they cool.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cooling on the sheet helps the cookies firm up without breaking.
Serve the cookies with your favorite beverage and enjoy!
Pair with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee for a classic combination.
