Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 120 grams creamy peanut butter
- 150 grams light brown sugar
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 1 unit large egg
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 190 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 200 grams semi-sweet chocolate chunks
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 butter, peanut butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. This should take about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer on medium speed.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
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.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chunks using a spatula, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Gently flatten each dough ball slightly with your fingers or the back of a spoon to help them spread evenly in the oven.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underdone but will set as they cool.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
