Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup peanut butter
• 1/4 cup (2 ounces or 4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 cup chopped peanut butter cups
• Chocolate or chocolate peanut butter ice cream, for serving

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt.

In a large mixing bowl, beat together the peanut butter, butter, brown sugar, and sugar until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla for 1 minute. Gradually beat in the flour mixture then add the peanut butter cups.

Using a #40 cookie scoop (roughly 1 1/2 tablespoons) or by hand, shape the dough into balls and divide between the two baking sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until puffed and edges are set. If they didn't spread as much as you'd like, very carefully flatten the cookies with the back on a spoon while still warm. Cool on the sheets for 5 minutes then carefully remove the cookies to cooling racks. Cool completely.

Scoop ice cream in between two cookies. Place on a tray lined with parchment paper and freeze immediately. Once frozen, roughly 1 hour, wrap with plastic wrap and store in an airtight container.
