Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies From Heaven

Rich, chewy, and utterly divine, these Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies are a dream come true for anyone with a sweet tooth.

Softened peanut butter and creamy butter combine in perfect harmony, with semi-sweet chocolate chips adding a sweet surprise to every bite.

Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

Set aside. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the butter and peanut butter until smooth and creamy.

About 2-3 minutes.

Gradually add the white granulated sugar and brown sugar to the butter mixture, beating until well combined. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

Gradually mix in the flour mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Stir in the chocolate chips. Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.

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

Notes

These cookies will keep fresh for up to 5 days stored in an airtight container at room temperature or up to 2 months in the freezer.

If you want a crisper cookie, bake for 12-14 minutes.

For a chewier cookie, bake for 8-10 minutes.

Make sure to use high-quality peanut butter and chocolate chips for the best flavor.

If you want a more pronounced peanut butter flavor, use natural peanut butter with oil separation.

The dough can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 24 hours or frozen for up to 2 months before baking.
