Chocolate peanut butter chip cookies

Ingredients

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup shortening
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/4 cup Hershey's chocolate syrup
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 bag (12.5 oz) Reese's peanut butter baking chips

Directions

1. 1. Preheat oven to 375F
2. Beat together sugars, shortening, eggs, vanilla, chocolate syrup, and cocoa powder.
3. Add in flours, baking soda, and salt. Mix until combined completely.
4. Stir in the peanut butter chips. Using two teaspoons or a cookie scoop drop about two tablespoonfuls of batter on the cookie sheet - 12 to a sheet.
5. Bake one sheet of cookies 8-9 minutes, two sheets 10 minutes.
Cookies will NOT appear finished when you pull them out, but don't overcook.
6. Remove from the oven and let cool on the sheet for an additional 5 minutes. Then transfer the cookies to cool completely on brown paper or paper towels - do NOT cool on a rack, they'll harden
