Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup Granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup Packed light brown sugar
  • 1 Large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup Creamy peanut butter
  • 1 and 1/4 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and peanut butter together until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the room temperature egg and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix just until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Pour the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients in two batches. Mix on low speed until no dry streaks remain.
  6. Use a silicone spatula to gently fold the semi-sweet chocolate chips into the dough.
  7. Use a medium cookie scoop to drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto your prepared baking sheets. Space them about two inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still look soft.
  9. Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Tip: Press a few extra chocolate chips into the tops of the warm cookies right as they come out of the oven for a beautiful bakery style finish. Standard commercial creamy peanut butter is recommended over natural peanut butter to prevent spreading. Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking can create a thicker cookie.
