Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter
- 0.75 cups creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups light brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chunks
- 0.5 cups roasted peanuts (optional, chopped)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing at low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough.
Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chunks and chopped roasted peanuts (if using).
Scoop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will firm up as they cool.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunkers with a cold glass of milk or as a standalone treat!
