Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies. Simple. Soft. Delicious.
Peanut butter and chocolate? Need I say more? I guess I should: these cookies are simple to prepare…they’re soft (putting the fork marks in the dough prior to baking ensures softness), they’re loaded with peanut butter, and they’re loaded with chocolate. Caution: these cookies are addictive!
INGREDIENTS
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter (melted)
- 1/2 cup peanut butter (creamy)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
DIRECTIONS:
- In a large bowl, mix butter with peanut butter (with hand mixer or stand mixer) until smooth. Add brown sugar and granulated sugar, and mix until creamy.
- Beat in vanilla, egg, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix in flour slowly until cookie dough forms. Stir in chocolate chips.
- Scoop cookie dough balls (about 2 tablespoon sized) onto cookie sheets covered with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Chill 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Press cookie dough balls flat with the tines of a fork.
- Bake cookies for 8-12 minutes, or until slightly brown on the bottom and the top just loses the wet cookie dough look.
