Indulgent chocolate cookies bursting with chocolate chips and peanut butter candies for the perfect chocolate-peanut butter delight.
Ingredients:
  • 0.5 cup butter, softened
  • 0.5 cup vegetable shortening
  • 0.75 cup white sugar
  • 0.66666668653488 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 0.66666668653488 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 0.75 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1.25 cups candy-coated peanut butter pieces (such as Reese's Pieces®), divided
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to a toasty 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and prepare your baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper.
  • Combine the butter and shortening in a large bowl, using an electric mixer until well combined. Mix in the white and brown sugar until creamy. Add vanilla extract, eggs, and cocoa powder; beat until even in color. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually stir the flour mixture into the cocoa mixture until well combined. Fold in chocolate chips and 3/4 cup of peanut butter candies, saving the remaining pieces for later.
  • Chill the cookie dough in the refrigerator for at least 45 minutes. Scoop tablespoonfuls of dough onto baking sheets and top each cookie with extra candy pieces.
  • Place in the oven that has been preheated and bake for 8 to 9 minutes. Allow to cool on baking sheets for 1 to 2 minutes before transferring to racks to finish cooling.
