Ingredients

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup cocoa powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Optional: 1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, sugar, and egg until smooth.

3. Stir in vanilla extract, followed by the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.

4. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

5. Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

7. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are firm but the centers are still soft.

8. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Storage

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week or freeze for up to three months.
