CHEWY CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES
YIELD: 2 dozen | PREP TIME: 15 minutes | CHILLING TIME: 1 hour | COOK TIME: 10 minutes | COOLING TIME: 5 minutes | TOTAL TIME: 90 minutes

Ingredients:

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup cocoa powder
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ cup butter, room temperature
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cups brown sugar
1 egg
¼ cup creamy peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons milk

Directions:

Combine the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda in a small bowl. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, cream the butter with an electric mixer at medium speed, about 1 minute. To this, add the sugars and continue to until well combined. Beat in the egg and peanut butter. Add the flour mixture in small parts and mix until well combined. Lastly, mix in the vanilla and milk.

Chill cookies dough for at least 1 hour, or up to 48 hours.

Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll tablespoon-sized drops of dough into balls and slightly flatten and then place them on your baking sheet. Bake one dozen at a time for 10-12 minutes then transfer cookies to a wire rack and cool for five minutes.

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or freeze.
