Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Hand mixer or stand mixer
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper or silicone baking mat
  • Cookie scoop or spoon
  • Cooling rack

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup peanut butter creamy or chunky
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • Cream the butter and peanut butter: In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat together the peanut butter, softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla: Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until combined.
  • Mix in the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips: Stir in the chocolate chips with a spatula until evenly distributed.
  • Scoop the dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake the cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. The centers will remain slightly soft, but they will firm up as the cookies cool.
  • Cool the cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Serve and enjoy: Enjoy these delicious peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies with a glass of milk or as a sweet snack anytime!
