Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies

When I say these are good, I mean they are GOOD. Like amazing. Melt in your mouth, incredible. They are the perfect Sunday snack, midday treat or anytime pick me up!

Foxi and I have been indulging in one of these delish delights every night. Ok, two and a half every night. But they are completely irresistible and Dino has a system for freezing them in single form so you can just pop 1 (or 3) on a sheet and bake on a whim. Genius! I feel like even the longer you wait to bake them, the better they get.

Dino makes a double batch, which I highly recommend for easy cookies baking access!

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups flour

1/2 cup cocoa

3/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup butter softened

1 1/2 cups sugar

1/2 cup peanut butter

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Flaky sea salt

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees (if you're baking immediately, otherwise just plan to freeze the dough - it tastes so good when it sits for 12 ish hours)

2. In a small bowl, mix flour, cocoa, soda and salt using a wire whisk and set aside.

3. In another bowl, cream butter, sugar and peanut butter until light and fluffy.

4. Add eggs and vanilla and mix until combined.

5. Add flour mixture to creamed mixture and mix until combined.

6. Fold in chocolate chips.

7. Roll cookie dough into 1-1/4 inch balls.

8. Place on parchment paper covered baking sheet. From here you could bake immediately for 10 mins.

BUT!

What we like to do is stick the cookie sheet and all (after rolling into balls) and freeze for a couple hours. You will be able to pull the solid frozen cookie dough off easily and pop in freezer bag to freeze and bake at a later date!

Bake from frozen state for 12 minutes. Sprinkle with some flaky sea salt.

Cookies will still be soft but will set up after cooling. Place cookies on cookie rack to cool and try and not to eat them immediately!

Makes about 3 dozen cookies. (double it, trust us!)
