Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar (packed)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cups Chopped roasted peanuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the 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 combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Using a spatula or wooden spoon, fold in the chocolate chips and chopped roasted peanuts, if using.
Scoop dough using a tablespoon or cookie scoop and place the dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Gently press down on each dough ball with your fingers or a fork to slightly flatten them.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your freshly baked Chunky Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies with a glass of milk or as a delightful snack!
