Fudgy Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies

Super fudgy and thick chocolate cookies with a shiny crackly shell, filled with peanut butter chips. Irresistible cookies for chocolate lovers!
YIELD 16 -18 cookies

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces or 225 grams semisweet chocolate , roughly chopped
  • 4 tablespoons (½ stick or 57 grams) unsalted butter
  • cup (90 grams or 3.2 ounces) all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¾ cup (150 grams or 5.3 ounces) packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 - 1 ¼ cups peanut butter chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F/175C degrees. Put butter and chocolate in a heat-proof bowl and microwave in 20-second increments, stirring between each, until melted. Do not overheat.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a mixer bowl fitted with the paddle attachment, beat eggs, brown sugar, and vanilla on high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. On a low speed, beat in melted chocolate. Mix in flour mixture just until combined. Don’t overbeat. Fold in peanut butter chips.
  4. Drop heaping tablespoons of dough 2 to 3 inches apart onto baking sheets. Bake until cookies are shiny and crackly yet soft in centers, 9 to 12 minutes. Cool on baking sheets for 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  5. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  6. Cookies can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw them on the counter, still covered, or overnight in the fridge.
