Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams creamy peanut butter
- 150 grams light brown sugar
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 1 piece large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 200 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 150 grams milk chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the unsalted butter, creamy peanut butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until fluffy and light in color, about 2-3 minutes.
Crack in the egg and add the vanilla extract, continuing to mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the milk chocolate chips using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, portion out tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Gently press each dough ball down with a fork to create a crisscross pattern on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Avoid overbaking to keep them soft and chewy.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
