​These chocolate cookies with Reese's peanut butter chips produce SUPER chewy cookies with delicious chocolate + peanut butter flavor!

Ingredients

  • 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 c brown sugar
  • ⅔ c granulated white sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ c all-purpose flour
  • ½ c unsweetened dark chocolate cocoa ((I use Hershey’s Special Dark - see notes))
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 c semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 c Reese's peanut butter chips

Directions

  1. 1

    Using a stand mixer with the paddle attachment (or a hand-held electric mixer), cream together the butters & the sugar on medium speed for about 2 minutes.

  2. 2

    Scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula & then add in eggs & vanilla. Mix just until blended (10-15 seconds) on medium speed.

  3. 3

    In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt.

  4. 4

    With the mixer on low, gradually add in dry ingredients. Mix just until combined. Fold in chocolate chips & peanut butter chips.

  5. 5

    Cover mixing bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. (You can chill longer - even overnight - if that's more convenient.)

  6. 6

    Remove dough from fridge, preheat oven to 375, and roll out dough to form 24 cookies - 12 on each baking pan. (If you aren't using USA Pans as your cookie sheets, you may want to consider laying down parchment paper to prevent cookies from sticking.)

  7. 7

    Optional: add in a few more Reese's peanut butter chips and chocolate chips to the tops of the cookie dough balls for an extra pop of flavor and a melty bite. :)

  8. 8

    Bake one pan at a time for 9 minutes at 375 & remove from oven. Allow cookies to cool on pans for about 10-15 minutes, and then transfer to a cooling rack and allow them to completely cool before transferring them to an airtight container.
