Ingredients: 1 cup dark chocolate chips. 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter. 1/2 cup granulated sugar. 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened. 1 large egg. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1 and 1/4 cups all-purpose flour. 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Instructions: Preheat the oven to 350F 175C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth. Allow to cool slightly. In a mixing bowl, beat the peanut butter, softened butter, and granulated sugar until creamy and well combined. Add the melted chocolate, egg, and vanilla extract to the peanut butter mixture. Mix until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. Scoop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten each dough ball with a fork, creating a crisscross pattern. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set and the edges are slightly firm. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
