Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 150 grams Brown sugar (packed)
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 200 grams Chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and peanut butter until smooth and well combined.
Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar, then beat until light and fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes.
Mix in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough about 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft. Do not overbake as they will continue to set after being removed from the oven.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your Old Fashioned Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies with a glass of cold milk or your favorite hot beverage!
