Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cups chunky peanut butter
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups light brown sugar, packed
- 1 pieces large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cups chopped peanuts (optional, for extra crunch)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter, chunky peanut butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed butter mixture and mix until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped peanuts (if using), ensuring they are evenly distributed in the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded scoops of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will set as they cool.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your chunky peanut butter chocolate chip cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
