How to Make Chocolate Peanut Butter Volcano Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in the peanut butter chips and chocolate chips.
  7. Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft.
  9. Remove from oven and immediately press a mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cup into the center of each cookie to create a 'volcano' effect.
  10. Let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
