- 1 large egg
- 2 tsp vanilla
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- 2 cups all purpose flour

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a stand mixer, combine butter, peanut butter, brown sugar and white sugar and beat until creamy. Add egg and vanilla. Beat until well combined.
- Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Pour into mixer and beat on medium-low speed until dry mixture is incorporated into wet ingredients.

- Scoop dough by spoonfuls and roll into balls, keeping sizes the same. Place on ungreased baking sheet, leaving room between balls for expansion.
- Using the back of a mug or glass, press into each ball to form circular disk. Wet the back of the glass with cold water if it's sticking.
