Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 piece large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups milk chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to beat the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar on medium speed until the mixture is light and creamy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the milk chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place the dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Gently flatten each dough ball slightly with the palm of your hand or the back of a spoon.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked; this is normal as the cookies will firm up as they cool.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the pans for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the cookies once cooled or store them in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
