Ingredients

- ½ cup light brown sugar
- ½ cup dark brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- ¼ - ½ cup chocolate chips dark chocolate, some reserved
Instructions
- In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, sugar, and egg, and mix well to combine.
- Stir in most of the chocolate chips, reserving about 36 to use later.
- Place bowl of dough in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to firm it up.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking tray with parchment or a silicone baking mat.
- Scoop a heaping 1 Tablespoon of cookie dough into a ball and place on baking sheet 2 inches apart.
- Once the balls of cookie dough are on the tray, take a fork, and gently press down on the dough making a cross hatch, pushing down until the cookie is approximately 1 cm thick.
- Gently press 3 of reserved chocolate chips into each cookie on the top.
- Bake for 10 minutes, or until light golden on the surface and darker golden on the edges.
- Leave to cool on the tray for five minutes, then remove to a cooling rack.
- Let cool to set completely or they will crumble in your hands.
Notes
- This recipe makes 12 good sized cookies, or 14 if you make them a little smaller. Only bake 12 at a time.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 4 - 5 days.
- This recipe will not work if using all-natural peanut butter, it needs the added oils and sugars in the non-all-natural kinds of peanut butter to make this work.
- Dark brown sugar can be substituted for regular brown sugar, however, the darker brown has more molasses and does make for a richer tasting cookie.
