Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (100g) brown sugar
- ¾ cup (190g) peanut butter
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (175g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy and smooth (about 2-3 minutes).
- Mix in peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Beat until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Use a spatula to gently fold in semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- Roll the dough into balls about 1 ½ tablespoons in size. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches (5 cm) of space between each cookie.
- Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and slightly golden. The centers will look soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
[‘Make sure your butter and egg are at room temperature before starting.’, ‘Avoid overmixing the dough to prevent dense cookies.’, ‘Chill the dough for 20-30 minutes if it feels too sticky.’, ‘Remove cookies from the oven when edges are set but centers are still soft.’]
