Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup Light brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 cups Creamy peanut butter
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 Large eggs
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 2 cups Chocolate chunks
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3–4 minutes.
Step 3
Add the peanut butter and vanilla extract to the mixer, and blend until well combined.
Step 4
Mix in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is thoroughly incorporated before adding the next.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 6
With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix just until combined.
Step 7
Gently fold in the chocolate chunks using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 8
Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough (or use a cookie scoop) onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 9
Use a fork to press each ball of dough slightly flat, creating a crisscross pattern on top of the cookies.
Step 10
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft.
Step 11
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 12
Serve and enjoy your decadent Barefoot Contessa Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies!
