Chewy Chocolate Cookies with Peanut Butter Chips

I woke up this morning and decided to bake these cookies for a barbeque we're about to go to (and are late to because I've still got cookies in the oven...typical). 

Ingredients: (for about 4.5 dozen cookies)

2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups butter or margarine, softened
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 2/3 cups peanut butter chips 

Preheat your oven to 350 F/ 176.6 C.

Mix together flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt.  Beat butter and sugar in a large bowl until fluffy.  Add eggs and vanilla, mix well.  Little by little, add the flour mixture and beat well.  Add peanut butter chips. 

Take out an ungreased baking sheet.  Form cookies into small balls using a tablespoon measurer.  Bake for 8 to 9 minutes.  

Let cool, and enjoy!
