These are amazing cookies, so soft and chewy! They would be great with any kind of chocolate chips in them if you don't have peanut butter chips on hand!

REESE'S Chewy Chocolate Cookies

From: http://www.hersheys.com/recipes/recipes/detail.asp

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour

3/4 cup HERSHEY'S Cocoa

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1-1/4 cups (2-1/2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened

2 cups sugar

2 eggs

2 tsps vanilla extract

1-2/3 cups (10 oz) REESE'S Peanut Butter Chips

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 350*F.

2. Stir together flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Beat butter and sugar in large bowl with mixer until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well. Gradually add flour mixture, beating well. Stir in peanut butter chips.

3. Drop by rounded teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 8-9 minutes. (Do not overbake; cookies will be soft. They will puff while baking and flatten while cooling.) Cool slightly; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely. About 4-1/2 dozen cookies.

*High altitude suggestions: (My friend made these yummy cookies at high altitude and didn't use the tips... They turned out great!)
