Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 (12 ounce) package peanut butter chips
• 0.5 cup butter
• 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.125 teaspoon salt

• 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.25 cup vegetable shortening

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Drop spoonfuls of the dough 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets.

Step 3

Beat butter, shortening, white sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Beat the first egg into the butter until completely blended, then beat in the vanilla with the second egg. Mix flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, and salt in another bowl; mix the flour mixture into the butter mixture until just incorporated. Fold in peanut butter chips, mixing just enough to evenly combine.

Bake in preheated oven until cookies are set, about 8 minutes.
