Chocolate-Peanut Butter Cookies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 1/4 cups packed light brown sugar
- 2 1/2 tablespoons milk
- 1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 large egg at room temperature
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder sifted, do not pack
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- Granulated sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, milk, and vanilla until the mixture is smooth. Add the egg and mix just until combined.
- In another bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda by whisking them together.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just incorporated.
- Place rounded tablespoons of dough on the baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gently press each cookie with a fork to create a crisscross pattern, then sprinkle granulated sugar on top.
- Bake the cookies for 6 to 8 minutes until set. Do not overbake to keep them soft. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
