Step 1

Set racks in the center and lower third of the oven and preheat to 350°F. Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.

Step 2

Add the butter and peanut butter to a small skillet and set over low heat. Use a rubber spatula to stir occasionally, as the butter melts and the peanut butter softens, to form a cohesive mixture. Remove from the heat and set aside.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt. Pour in the melted butter mixture and whisk to form a smooth, cohesive paste, about 1 minute. Add the egg and vanilla extract and whisk again for about 2 minutes, until well incorporated and slightly aerated.

Step 4

Add the black cocoa powder, baking soda, and baking powder. Use a rubber spatula to fold and fully combine. Add the flour and chocolate chips. Fold again, until just combined.

Step 5

Use a 1 1/2–ounce cookie scoop, or three tablespoons, to portion the dough onto the baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each scoop. Bake for about 12 minutes, rotating and turning the sheets halfway through, until the cookies are puffed and slightly spread.

Step 6

Remove the sheets
