Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter, softened
- 120 grams creamy peanut butter
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 110 grams light brown sugar, packed
- 1 piece large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 190 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 150 grams semi-sweet chocolate chunks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture, beating until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture, stirring until a dough forms. Do not overmix.
Gently stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chunks until evenly distributed.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough and place on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Gently flatten the tops of each cookie with a fork, creating a crisscross pattern if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden while the centers remain soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your Peanut Butter Cookies with Chocolate Chunks warm or at room temperature!
