Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Light brown sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl. Stir until fully incorporated.
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix just until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Gently flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingertips.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden. The centers may still look slightly underdone.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your delicious chocolate chip peanut butter cookies!
