Instructions
Step 1: Prep & Creaming
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a large bowl, cream together the 1 cup butter, 1 1/2 cups sugar, 2 eggs, and 2 tsp vanilla extract until smooth and blended.
Step 2: Combine Dry Ingredients & Shape
- In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2/3 cup cocoa powder, 3/4 tsp baking soda, and 1/2 tsp salt.
- Stir the dry ingredient mixture into the wet sugar mixture until a cohesive dough forms.
- Fold in the 2 cups peanut butter chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Shape the dough into small 1-inch balls and arrange on ungreased baking sheets.
Step 3: Baking
- Bake at 350°F for 8-10 minutes until set around the edges but still soft in the center. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
💡 Make-Ahead & Storage: Cookie dough balls can be shaped ahead of time and frozen for up to 3 months. Bake frozen dough balls directly at 350°F, adding 1-2 extra minutes to the baking time.
