These are hands down the best cookie I have ever made!
In a small stockpot over med/low heat, cook butter for about 10 minutes until light golden brown. Be cautious with dairy-free butter to avoid burning. Remove and let it cool partially.
In a mixing bowl, combine sugars and butter. Mix for 3 minutes.
Mix in eggs one at a time, followed by peanut butter, vanilla, and then the dry ingredients.
Incorporate 1 ½ cups of chocolate chips and mix until combined. Allow the dough rest at room temperature for 30 minutes to let the ingredients set up.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line 3 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Scoop equal-sized cookies, leaving 2” of space. Bake for 9-11 minutes, until the edges are golden brown, and the inside is slightly sunken.
Remove from the oven, let cookies sit on sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
Once cookies are cool, melt the dark chocolate.
Using a spatula, spread the chocolate on the bottom of each cookie.
Place dipped cookies on a parchment paper-lined sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.
