Instructions
For the chocolate cookie dough
Cream the butter and sugar together with a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides and bottom as needed. Beat in the egg and vanilla until combined, scraping down the sides as needed. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Slowly mix it into the wet ingredients. The dough will be very thick. Fold in the chocolate chips.
For the peanut butter cookies

Smoosh the two balls together and roll them to form a cookie.

It is important the chocolate cookie dough is chilled or else it will be messy.
Top the cookies with a couple of chocolate chips.
