Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter with brown sugar. Mix until completely blended. Add in eggs, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
3. Add flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda to mixing bowl. Beat just until incorporated. Fold in all but ½ cup of the peanut butter morsels. Chill dough 1 hour, if desired.
4. Using a 2 Tbsp cookie scoop, drop dough two inches apart on prepared cookie sheet. Using the reserved peanut butter chips, press 5 or 6 on top of each cookie before baking.
5. Bake for 10-12 minutes. The cookies will be slightly underbaked, but not runny. Allow to cool on baking sheet 5-10 minutes before moving to a wire rack to cool completely.
