Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cups Creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar, packed
- 1 whole Large egg
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cups Chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon.
Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to portion out dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Press each dough ball slightly with a fork in a crisscross pattern, if desired, to create a classic peanut butter cookie look.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may still look a bit soft—this is okay as they will firm up as they cool.
Remove cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite warm beverage!
