How do I make chocolate cookies with peanut butter chips?

1. In a large mixing bowl or bowl of a stand mixer, combine the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar, and mix until completely smooth. You can do this with a spoon or a hand mixer as well.
2. Add the egg, vanilla, salt, baking soda, and cocoa powder, and mix well. Carefully mix in the flour, and stir until smooth. Mix in the peanut butter chips.
3. Form balls of dough using 2 tablespoonfuls. Place onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment, and put the cookie sheet into the refrigerator for the dough to chill for 1-2 hours.
4. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare your baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper or silicone mats. Place the cookie dough balls at least 2 inches apart. Baking time is 10-12 minutes, or until they no longer appear glossy.
5. Cool the warm cookies for a minute or two on the hot cookie sheet before transferring to a wire rack.
6. These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for up to a month.
