½ c firmly packed light brown sugar

Preheat oven to 375ºF/190°C. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugars together using a hand mixer/kitchen aid on medium speed until the mixture is smooth.

Add eggs, vanilla, salt, and baking soda to the butter mixture. Mix on medium speed only until ingredients are blended and smooth.

Add flour and cocoa powder. Mix on low speed until flour is no longer loose, and medium speed only until flour is blended fully. (Add Tbsp extra flour if dough seems too sticky after this step, and mix on low speed only for a few seconds.)

Finally add chocolate chips and peanut butter candy pieces and gently fold into dough. Do not overmix.

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Scoop cookie dough using a medium-sized cookie scooper slightly rounded, and place at least 2" apart onto cookie sheet (approx. 1¾ Tbsp of dough for each cookie).

Bake for 9-11 minutes, taking out when tops are still light but edges are brown. Top the cookies with sanding sugar.

Slide parchment paper with cookies off the baking sheet directly onto the counter for cooling. (If not using parchment paper, let cookies sit for one minute and then remove to cool on the counter or wire rack.)
