Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together peanut butter, butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and beat until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips if using.
Drop spoonfuls of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
