Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies

I made these for an outreach meeting, and Chris really liked them.

Makes 5 to 6 dozen cookies

2 1/4 cups flour
2/3 cup baking cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 large eggs
1 (11 ounce) package peanut butter chips, or peanut butter & milk chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, sugars and vanilla. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add salt and cocoa and mix well. Sprinkle baking soda over cookie dough, and gradually add flour. Stir in peanut butter chips.

Using a teaspoon or a small cookie scoop, drop cookie dough onto ungreased baking sheets. You'll save yourself some scrubbing if you line your baking sheets with a silicone mat or parchment paper.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until centers are set. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes, and remove to cooling racks. Cool completely before storing.
