Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, sift or whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract using a hand mixer until well mixed.
Add the eggs and mix thoroughly, scraping down the sides to ensure even mixing.
Slowly pour the dry mixture into the wet mixture and stir well with a sturdy spoon, ensuring no dry flour remains.
Fold in the milk chocolate chips and peanut butter chips until evenly distributed.
Using a #50 scooper, drop the dough onto the lined baking sheets, leaving about 3 inches between each scoop.
For a visually appealing cookie, add a few extra chips on top of each scoop without flattening them.
Bake on the middle rack for 8-11 minutes, or until the edges are set but the middle remains soft.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 3-5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

Notes

Ensure that the butter is at room temperature for easy mixing.
Leftover cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
For added flavor, consider sprinkling a pinch of sea salt on top before baking.
