By srumbel

Rich, chocolatey cookies with creamy peanut butter chips would have been good enough, but sprinkle on some sea salt and you have that great sweet and salty combination that makes it hard to eat just one cookie!

• 1 1/4 C all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda

Preheat oven to 350. Line cookie sheets with a baking mat or lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.

Whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and baking cocoa.

Using a mixer, cream together butter and sugars. Add egg and vanilla. Beat until creamy. Slowly add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until combined. Stir in peanut butter chips.
