Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Cookies

This recipe is one I unintentionally modified very similarly to taste like Pam's Chocolate Chip Cookies, but a chocolate cookie with peanut butter chips. They turned out so yummy! Just a slight change in pace from the classic chocolate chip cookie.

• 1 cup shortening (1 stick Crisco), softened
• 1/2 cup (1 cube) butter, softened
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 pkg Reese's peanut butter chips

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. 

Cream (mix on high) shortening, butter, both sugars, eggs and vanilla until fluffy. In a separate bowl combine flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt, then slowly mix dry ingredients with wet until well combined, scraping sides as you go. Stir in peanut butter chips. 

Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for about 8-11 minutes (10 was perfect for my oven). Let cool slightly on pan before placing them on a wire rack to cool completely.
