Chocolate Peanut-Butter-Cup Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 1/4 cups flour
    1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 cup butter or 1 cup margarine, softened
    3/4 cup smooth peanut butter
    3/4 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
    3/4 cup granulated sugar
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    2 large eggs
    1 (5 ounce) package peanut butter cups, each cup cut into 8 pieces
    1 (1 ounce) package semi-sweet chocolate chips
Preparation
    Heat oven to 350\u00b0.
    In medium-size bowl combine flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt; set aside.
    In large bowl with electric mixer at medium speed, beat butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar and vanilla about 3 minutes until light and fluffy.
    Add eggs, one at a time; beat until thoroughly blended after each addition.
    Reduce speed to low; gradually beat in flour mixture until smooth.
    Stir peanut-butter-cup pieces into dough along with chocolate chips.
    Drop dough, 3 tbsps per cookie, onto ungreased large cookie sheets; spacing about 1\" apart.
    Bake 13-15 minutes until dry and slightly firm to the touch.
    Let cookies cool 1 minute on cookie sheets; using wide metal spatula, remove to wire racks to cool completely.
    Store in airtight containers.
