These Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Cookies are a new favorite in our house. They are chewy, chocolatey, and have a great peanut butter flavor that doesn’t overpower. The chocolate batter reminds me of brownie batter, as it is very thick, and is delicious. The recipe takes about 10 minutes to throw together and combined with the quick baking time, they are ready in no time at all. I suggest making sure your butter and egg are at room temperature for baking and to sift the dry ingredients so they combine well (cocoa powder can be clumpy). Silicone baking mats make the bake soft and you won’t have to worry about the bottoms of the cookies getting crusty; if you don’t have any, parchment paper works great, too!
