Baking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a larger bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter with granulated and brown sugar for 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract, then gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. In another bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt for the peanut butter dough.
  6. Cream the softened butter with both sugars until fluffy, then mix in the peanut butter until smooth.
  7. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract before gradually incorporating the dry ingredients.
  8. Roll equal portions of the chocolate and peanut butter dough (around 2 tablespoons each) in your hands without overmixing.
  9. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.
  10. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers look slightly underbaked.
  11. Let them cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
