Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams Unsalted butter
- 120 grams Creamy peanut butter
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 100 grams Brown sugar, packed
- 1 piece Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 60 grams Chocolate chips or chunks (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using a handheld or stand mixer until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and mix until fully combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
If desired, fold in the chocolate chips or chunks using a spatula.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches (5 cm) of space between each cookie.
Gently press each dough ball down with the back of a fork in a crisscross pattern to slightly flatten the cookies.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The cookies will appear slightly underbaked in the center but will firm up as they cool.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your Peanut Butter Chewies with a cold glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
