Ingredients
1stickunsalted butter1/2 cup, room temperature
½cupbrown sugar
⅓cupgranulated sugar
¾cupcreamy peanut butternot natural
1largeegg
1tspvanilla extract
1 ½cupsall purpose flour
1tspbaking soda
½tspbaking powder
½tspsalt
1 ½cupssemi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
In a mixing bowl, combine the butter, brown sugar, and sugar. Beat with an electric mixer for 1 minute, until smooth and fluffy.
Add in the peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract, beat again, less than 1 minute.
Add in the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and 1 cup chocolate chips mixing on low or with a spatula just until combined. Be careful not to over mix.
Use a small cookie scoop to form balls from the dough. Once released from the scoop, roll in hands to form a uniform ball. Add the remaining chocolate chips to the outside of the balls. Place the cookies 2-3 inches apart on a silicone lined baking sheet and bake for 11-13 minutes or until the edges of the cookies begin to just turn golden. My cookie dough balls were 2.5-3 tablespoons large and baked for 12 minutes. Be sure to adjust the baking time for smaller cookies.
Allow the cookies to cool for 15 minutes.
Notes
Leave the dough balls as balls or flatten slightly before baking - it’s up to you! The balls will produce taller, domed cookies and flattening will produce nice, evenly flat cookies. I have made these cookies multiple times with King Arthur’s Gluten Free Measure for Measure Flour with great success.
