Description
These peanut butter chocolate chip cookies are soft, fluffy, and packed with just the right balance of rich peanut butter and melty chocolate chips.
Ingredients
Units
- 3/4 cup butter, softened
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1 package (11.5 oz) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips (I've been preferring dark chocolate lately)
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla
Instructions
- Take out the butter to soften to room temperature.
- Combine the flour, salt, baking soda and chocolate chips in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, brown sugar, and peanut butter.
- Add eggs and vanilla.
- Slowly add the flour/chocolate chip mixture to the wet mixture until combined.
- Using a large cookie scoop (or ice cream scoop), scoop large round balls onto a cookie sheet.
- Using your fingers, gently press the balls of dough down so they are slightly flattened.
- Place in the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove the cookie sheet from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes. They may look a slightly under cooked (my fav), but should be a little firm to the touch.
- Move cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
