Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips semi-sweet or milk chocolate
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Baking Sheets
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Cream Butter, Peanut Butter, and Sugars
- In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat together the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add Egg and Vanilla
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, and continue mixing until combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Scoop and Shape the Cookies
- Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft. The cookies will continue to set on the baking sheet. Let them cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
