Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup powdered sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
