Ingredients
- 1 cup (softened) unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup (packed) light brown sugar
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 whole large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix until fully combined.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
Step 6
Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Step 7
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Step 8
Press each ball of dough lightly with a fork, making a criss-cross pattern on top. This is optional but gives the cookies a classic look.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will still appear soft, which is perfect for achieving a chewy texture.
Step 10
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Enjoy warm with a glass of milk, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
