Famous Bakery Copycat Double Fudge Peanut Butter Chip Cookies

Makes: 14 extra large cookies Prep time: 20 minutes Bake time: 14-16 minutes

Ingredients

2 sticks cold unsalted butter

2 and 1/2 cups all purpose flour

1 and 1/4 cup granulated white sugar

2 large eggs

1/2 cup best quality dark cocoa powder

1/2 teaspoon best quality vanilla

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon fresh baking powder

2 cups semi sweet chocolate chunks or chips

2 and 1/2 cups peanut butter chips

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together butter, sugar and vanilla until well incorporated and light and fluffy for about 2 minutes or so.  Add eggs one at a time, scraping down the bowl as needed.  Add cocoa, flour, salt and baking powder and beat until just incorporated.  Add in peanut butter and chocolate chunks and beat just a few times until the chips are evenly distributed.  Line baking sheets with parchment or silicone baking mats.  With a large ice cream scooper, place 6 cookies per sheet.  Bake for 8 minutes then rotate the pan.  Bake another 4 to 6 minutes until the cookies are set in the center.  They will still be fairly soft looking, but that is ok.  They will continue to firm up as they cool.  Remove them to a baking rack as soon as they are cool enough to handle.
