Ingredients
  • 3/4 cup shortening
  • 3/4 cup margarine
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 175 degrees Celsius.
2
Next, take a moment to prepare your baking surfaces by lightly coating them with a non-stick cooking spray or butter.
3
In a large mixing vessel, combine the shortening and margarine, then proceed to blend them together with white sugar and brown sugar until you achieve a smooth consistency.
4
Once the mixture is well combined, add in the eggs one at a time and mix until fully incorporated. Next, stir in the peanut butter and add a hint of vanilla to the blend.
5
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and cream of tartar.
6
Then, gradually add the dry ingredients to the sugar mixture, stirring until everything is well combined.
7
Mix in any optional ingredients such as rolled oats and walnuts, followed by the addition of chocolate chips.
8
Using a spoon or small scoop, drop rounded portions onto the prepared baking sheets.
9
Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cookies have reached your desired level of doneness.
10
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to continue cooling completely.
