Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Cookies

Is cookie season truly over? I would beg to differ, cookie season is year round for this girl. Except maybe in the summer heat, I enjoy my local ice cream shops during those months and don't really wish to add to the temp inside my house. I DO however freeze cookies to last me a couple of months into the hot season to last as long as they can- these cookies are perfect for freezing. I have been a traveling fool over the past few weeks and this is only going to continue into March when I start back at work full-time. Life has been very chill and I have been more relaxed than I have ever been. I'm extremely blessed to have some down time to reflect and recoup before internship this upcoming fall. BIG things are coming, life changing things and I'm ready to see where life takes me. Enjoy these cookies if you are looking for a sweet chocolate PB treat!

Ingredients:

1 stick unsalted butter (softened)
3/4 cup sugar
1 Lg. egg
1/8 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup dark cocoa powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup peanut butter chips

How to:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees & line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a silicone baking mat.
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy.
Next, add egg, vanilla, and mix until smooth. Then add flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until combined. Fold in peanut butter chips.
Drop onto the baking sheet by the spoonful (I sometimes like to use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to make GIANT cookies- you will have to just time slightly to cook through.) and place 1 1/2 in apart.
Bake 15-17 mins until edges firm up.
Remove from oven and cool 5 mins on pan before transferring to a cooling rack.
Store leftovers in airtight container or fridge for a chilled sweet treat!
