Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
• 1 Large egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup Powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

Step 3

Add the peanut butter and mix until smooth.

Step 4

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract, ensuring everything is well combined.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Step 7

Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.

Step 8

Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may still look slightly underbaked.

Step 10

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Once the cookies are cool, place the powdered sugar in a shallow bowl.

Step 12

Gently roll each cookie in the powdered sugar, ensuring they’re fully coated. Repeat the process a second time for an extra snowy coating.

Step 13

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
