Peanut Butter Chocolate Chips Cookies
Peanut butter chocolate chip cookies are an easy and tasty dessert that my whole family goes crazy for!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (1 standard-sized stick)
- 1/2 cup peanut butter (I am using creamy, but crunchy works too)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1/8 teaspoon salt (this may vary, based on your peanut butter. My peanut butter contained salt already, FYI)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
-
In the mixer, beat the butter, peanut butter, white sugar and brown sugar until creamy.
-
Add the egg and vanilla, and mix a few seconds to allow it to incorporate.
-
Turn off the mixer.
-
In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, salt and baking soda.
-
Turn the mixer back on low, and gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until well-incorporated.
-
Stir in the chocolate chips.
-
Spoon the dough onto a cookie sheet, lined with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. (Note: I used about 2 generous tablespoons of dough per cookie.)
-
Bake in the preheated oven at 325 degrees for about 17 minutes.
-
Remove from oven, and allow to cool. I cool mine a couple minutes on the cookie sheet, and the rest of the way on a cooling rack. (Note: the longer you leave the cookies on the cookie sheet, the crunchier they will get.)
-
Serve and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
This recipe made about 20 cookies for me, at about 2 generous tablespoons of dough a piece.
For best results use a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
