Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies

These Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies mix natural peanut butter, maple syrup, and cocoa powder for a rich, chewy cookie dough enriched with chocolate or peanut butter chips. Baked until edges set and fully cooled, the cookies develop a tender texture accented by pockets of melted chips. They store well at room temperature or frozen for convenience.
