Ingredients
1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
3/4 cup Light Brown Sugar, packed
1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
1 Large Egg, room temperature
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1.5 cups All-Purpose Flour
1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
1 cup Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips
Instructions
Cream the softened butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and white sugar in a large mixing bowl until smooth and fluffy.
Beat the egg and vanilla extract into the butter mixture until fully incorporated.
Whisk the flour and baking soda in a separate bowl to remove any lumps.
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture gradually until a soft dough forms.
Stir the chocolate chips into the dough evenly using a silicone spatula.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough and place them two inches apart on the sheet.
Flatten each ball slightly with the palm of your hand or a fork.
Bake for 10 minutes until edges are set.
Notes
Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking can help prevent excessive spreading. Use non-natural peanut butter for better dough stability. Store in an airtight container to keep the cookies moist for several days.
