How to Make Chunky Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly grease cookie sheets with vegetable oil.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) margarine, 1 cup creamy peanut butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ¾ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 2 cups chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  7. Scoop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared cookie sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Lightly press down on each cookie with the palm of your hand.
  9. Use a fork to create a criss-cross pattern on top of each cookie (optional).
  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly soft.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 10-15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
