Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Description
The cookie dough is prepared by creaming softened butter with brown and granulated sugar, then adding peanut butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. After incorporating the dry ingredients—flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon—the dough is mixed until just combined. Chocolate chips are folded in last to distribute evenly.
Cookie dough balls are rolled in granulated sugar for a sugared crust, then spaced on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Baking at 350°F produces cookies with golden edges but soft middles. The contrast between the creamy peanut butter, sweet chocolate chips, and subtly spiced dough creates a satisfying cookie experience.
These cookies store well in airtight containers for a few days and can be frozen as baked cookies or dough for convenience. They are suitable for snacks, desserts, or sharing.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
- 1 1/4 cups brown sugar
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup peanut butter creamy
- 2 egg large
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract pure
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar for rolling cookies
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, use the paddle attachment to beat the butter and sugars together until smooth, about one minute. Scrape down the side of the bowl with a spatula. Add the peanut butter and mix until smooth, about another minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl again and add the eggs and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
- With the mixer off, add in all of the dry ingredients. Turn the mixer on low and mix until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Portion dough with a cookie scoop or spoon, about 3 tablespoons of dough per cookie. Roll the cookie dough balls into the granulated sugar so they are well coated. Place onto a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper or a Silpat baking mat, about 2 inches apart.
- Bake the cookies for 11 to 14 minutes or until golden brown around the edges, but still soft in the middle. Remove from the oven and sprinkle the cookies with flaky sea salt. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack and cool completely.
Notes
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
- Freezing either baked cookies or cookie dough is a convenient way to preserve them for later use.
