Ingredients
3/4cupall-purpose flour
3/4cupspelt flour
1/4cupcocoa powder
3/4teaspoonbaking soda
1/4teaspoonsalt
1/2cup packedlight brown sugar
5tablespoonsunsalted butter, softened
2largeeggs
3/4cupsmoothnatural peanut butter
1teaspoonvanilla extract
1/2cupdark chocolate chips
Directions
Position oven racks in top third and lower third; preheat to 375°F. Line 2 large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
Whisk all-purpose flour, spelt flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt together in a medium bowl. Beat brown sugar and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until slightly lighter in color, about 3 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating until combined, about 30 seconds per egg. Add peanut butter and vanilla; beat until combined, stopping to scrape down sides as needed, about 30 seconds.
Reduce mixer speed to low. Gradually beat in the flour mixture until combined, about 30 seconds. Fold in chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Shape the dough into 24 balls (about 1 1/2 tablespoons each); arrange 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Press the tops lightly to flatten.
Bake until browned and edges are set, 10 to 12 minutes, rotating the baking sheets between upper and lower racks halfway through. Let cool on the pans for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
