Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Cookies
The search for the perfect peanut butter chocolate chip cookies recipe is over; you just found it! I locked myself in my kitchen until I came out with perfect, thick, chewy cookies that pack serious chocolate and peanut butter flavor. Using my tried-and-true cookie baking methods I've developed over the years, this is a recipe you can always trust not to fail you!
Servings: 18 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour 180 grams
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips 340 grams
- ½ cup unsalted butter room temperature, 113 grams
- ½ cup packed brown sugar 107 grams
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar 66 grams
- ¾ cup creamy peanut butter 203 grams
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350º F. Line a cookie sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and 1 cup of chocolate chips. Set aside.
- In a larger mixing bowl combine the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. You want this mixture to be fluffy and pale in color.
- Add in the peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract, beat for 30 seconds.
- Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, mixing on low speed. The dough will be thick. I like to finish mixing the flour into the dough by hand with a spatula.
- Use a cookie scoop to form golf ball sized cookie dough balls, roll into a smooth ball between your hands. Press the remaining chocolate chips on the outside of the dough balls. Place about 8 cookies on a cookie sheet lined with a silicone baking mat at a time.
- For 2 Tbsp sized dough balls, bake for 10-13 minutes. Adjust the bake time accordingly for smaller or larger cookies.
- Allow the cookies to cool for 15 minutes on the baking sheet before removing.
