Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and brown sugar. Mix thoroughly using a wooden spoon or electric mixer until the mixture becomes smooth and well-integrated.
- Crack the egg into the peanut butter and sugar mixture, then add the vanilla extract. Mix well until all ingredients are completely combined and create a uniform batter.
- Gently fold the chocolate chips into the cookie dough, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
- Use a fork to create a classic crisscross pattern on top of each cookie, gently pressing down to flatten them slightly.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, serve and enjoy your quick and delicious peanut butter chocolate chip cookies!
Tips
- To ensure your cookies turn out perfect, remember to:* Use high-quality peanut butter for the best flavor * Don't overmix the dough, or your cookies might end up tough * Chill the dough for a few minutes if you find it too sticky to work with * Keep an eye on your cookies while they're baking, as they can go from perfect to burnt quickly * Store your cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh for up to 5 days
