Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (softened) unsalted butter
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup (packed) light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer).
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Then, mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in batches, mixing on low speed to combine. Avoid overmixing!
Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may still look soft—this is okay.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your warm, gooey, and award-winning peanut butter chocolate chip cookies!
