Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
Instructions
- Brown the Butter: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and cook until it turns golden brown and gives off a nutty aroma, about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to burn it. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and sugar. Add the cooled brown butter and peanut butter, mixing until a uniform dough forms.
- Form Cookies: Scoop the dough into tablespoon-sized balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake Cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes until they are set around the edges but still soft in the center.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
Notes
- For chewier cookies, slightly underbake them.
- You can substitute natural peanut butter, but it may affect texture.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Adding chocolate chips can enhance the double chocolate effect.
