Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Cookies
Description
This cookie recipe starts by blending softened butter with white and brown sugars until fluffy. Eggs, vanilla extract, and peanut butter are incorporated before folding in a mixture of all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda. The dough is thick, holding semisweet and peanut butter chips along with roughly chopped peanut butter cups for extra texture and flavor depth.
Baking at 350°F for 11 to 13 minutes yields cookies with a tender yet substantial crumb and visible melty peanut butter cup pieces. Cooling on the sheet before transferring prevents breakage. The combination of cocoa and peanut butter pairs well, offering a sweet and slightly salty contrast.

- 1 cup butter softened
- 3/4 cup white sugar
