Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and peanut butter until fluffy, then add sugars and mix well.
  3. Add eggs one at a time and mix in vanilla extract until the batter is silky.
  4. Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt; stir until blended.
  5. Combine wet and dry mixtures until just mixed, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  7. Scoop dough onto baking sheets, leaving space for spreading; aim for about 24 scoops.
  8. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until edges are set and centers are soft.
  9. Cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
