Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 0.75 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
Add in the creamy peanut butter and mix until well combined.
Beat in the large egg and pure vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula or spoon.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Gently press each ball of dough down slightly with the back of a fork to create a crisscross pattern.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are slightly golden. The centers may look a little underbaked, but they will firm up as they cool.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
