Ingredients
- 1 cup cold unsalted butter
- 1 ½ cups all natural creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar tightly packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar

Instructions
- First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, add cold butter, peanut butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar. Mix on high for 2 to 3 minutes, until no clumps of butter remain.
- Then, add in eggs and vanilla. Stir to combine.
- Add in flour, baking soda and sea salt. Stir to combine.
- Fold in chocolate chips.
- Use an ice cream scooper to scoop balls of dough onto lined pan. Space at least 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until edges have started to turn golden.
- Finally, remove from oven. Cookies will be soft and gooey. Allow cookies to cool on pan for at least 10 minutes. Then carefully move to a cooling rack.

Notes
- Use cold butter right from the fridge. Do not use melted or softened butter.
- Mix butter, peanut butter and sugars until completely combined.
- Both regular all purpose flour and gluten free 1 to 1 flour work well. Do not substitute another flour.
- The cookie dough will be pretty thick. It should not be sticky.
- Use an ice cream scooper to ensure evenly sized, round cookies.
- Do not bake too long. Bake until cookies look gooey but set in the middle.
- These cookies are soft and fragile when warm. Handle carefully.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- I prefer them stored in the fridge.
- Freeze for 30 days if needed.
