4 oz unsweetened chocolate, chopped OR ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder plus 3 Tbsp. shortening
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips, divided
1½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
4 large eggs
1½ cups sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
½ cup peanut butter chips
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or spray with cooking spray.
In a saucepan, melt butter, unsweetened chocolate (or cocoa powder and shortening), and 1½ cups chocolate chips over low heat, stirring constantly; set aside.
In a bowl, beat eggs, sugar, and vanilla at medium speed until combined. Add flour, baking powder and salt, beating well.
Add chocolate mixture and beat until combined. Stir in remaining ½ cups chocolate chips and the peanut butter chips.
Drop dough by 2 tablespoonfuls, spacing about 2 inches apart onto parchment paper lined baking sheets. Bake the cookies, one sheet at a time, until edges are firm and centers appear cracked, 9-12 minutes. Cool the cookies on the baking sheets about 2 minutes; transfer the cookies to a wire rack and cool to room temperature
