Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
  3. Cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
  5. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined, taking care not to overmix.
  6. Fold in the peanut butter and chocolate chips, creating swirls without fully combining.
  7. Drop generous mounds of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are set but tops remain glossy.
  9. Cool on baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
