Chewy Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies
Description
The cookie dough starts by creaming together peanut butter, unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for a smooth base that balances sweetness and richness. Adding egg and vanilla extract binds and flavors the dough. Incorporating flour, baking soda, and salt completes the structure of the cookies while chocolate chips add bursts of melted sweetness.
The dough is shaped into balls then pressed lightly with a fork to create the traditional peanut butter cookie texture and pattern. Baking at 350°F for 8 to 9 minutes yields cookies with soft centers and slightly crisp edges. Cooling the cookies on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring prevents breaking.
This recipe produces cookies holding their chewy texture for several days when stored in an airtight container, making them ideal for making ahead or sharing. The peanut butter flavor stands out, complemented by the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter creamy
- ½ cup butter softened, unsalted
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar packed
- 1 egg large
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ cup chocolate chips I used semi-sweet but dark chocolate is good too!
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line 2 baking pans with parchment paper or a silicone mat..
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the peanut butter, butter, sugar and brown sugar. Beat together until smooth & creamy best if using a stand mixer or hand mixer.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract and continue to mix until well combined.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir in the flour mixture to the butter and sugar mixture and mix until well combined. Stir in chocolate chips
- Using a cookie dough scooper or making the dough into 1 inch balls. Roll in white granulated sugar if you desire and place onto your prepared baking sheet.
- Using a fork, press down on each ball of dough to slightly flatten and creating a criss-cross pattern.
- Bake for 8-9 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes and then transfer to a wire rack.
- These keep well for a couple of days in an airtight container.
