Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup cold salted butter, (cubed (227g))
  • 1 cup granulated sugar ((200g))
  • 1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar ((100g))
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour ((187g))
  • 1 cup cake flour ((118g))
  • 1/2 cup dark cocoa powder ((50g))
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 1/2 cups Reese's peanut butter chips

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for 3-4 minutes on medium-high speed until light. Add the eggs and vanilla, beating well and scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl.
  • Add both types of flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix on low speed just until combined. Stir in peanut butter chips.
  • Divide the dough into 8 evenly-sized large balls and space them evenly on the baking sheets so they have room to spread while baking.
  • Bake for 9-11 minutes until the cookies look set around the edges and dry on top. If they still look shiny, they probably need another minute, but don't overbake.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for at least 15 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack to finish cooling.
