Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 stick 4 oz unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • cup tightly packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • ¾ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ to ⅔ cups peanut butter chips
  • ½ cup chopped peanut butter cups or mini peanut butter cups

Instructions

  • In a bowl, stir together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat the butter until creamy, then beat in granulated sugar and brown sugar. Beat in the egg and vanilla.
  • Stir the dry ingredients into the butter mixture until incorporated, then stir in the peanut butter chips and candy.
  • Using a heaping tablespoon, scoop up 12 mounds of dough and arrange on a foil lined plate. Chill dough for about an hour or until ready to bake.
