Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and brown sugar. Mix thoroughly until the mixture becomes smooth and well-incorporated, about 2-3 minutes.
- Crack the egg into the peanut butter mixture and add vanilla extract. Whisk or mix with an electric mixer until the ingredients are completely blended and the mixture looks uniform.
- Sprinkle baking soda and salt over the wet ingredients. Gently fold or mix these dry ingredients into the batter until evenly distributed.
- Add chocolate chips to the batter and fold them in carefully, ensuring they are evenly spread throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Gently flatten each cookie dough ball with the back of a fork, creating a classic crisscross pattern if desired.
- Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges 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.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients for smoother mixing and better cookie texture.
- For extra indulgence, use high-quality chocolate chips or mix different chocolate varieties.
- Don't overmix the dough to keep cookies tender and soft.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes and even baking.
- If you prefer chewier cookies, slightly underbake them and let them rest on the baking sheet.
- For a fun twist, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top before baking to enhance the sweet-salty flavor.
- Ensure your baking soda is fresh for optimal rise and texture.
- Let cookies cool completely to allow them to set and develop their perfect texture.
