Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 rolls
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and well combined. Use an electric mixer on medium speed for best results.
- Add the large egg and vanilla extract to the peanut butter mixture. Beat until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough. Use a spatula to mix carefully and avoid breaking the chips.
- Using clean hands or a cookie scoop, form the dough into 12 equal-sized balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each roll.
- Slightly flatten each ball with the palm of your hand or the bottom of a glass to create a rounded shape.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers are set but still soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the rolls cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to allow them to firm up slightly.
- Transfer the rolls to a wire cooling rack and let them cool completely. The chocolate chips will remain soft and gooey inside.
- Serve at room temperature and store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smoother mixing and better texture.
- For extra indulgence, use high-quality chocolate chips like semi-sweet or dark chocolate.
- Don't overmix the dough to keep the rolls tender and soft.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform-sized rolls that bake evenly.
- Let the rolls cool slightly on the baking sheet to help them set and prevent crumbling.
- For a gourmet touch, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top before baking to enhance the chocolate and peanut butter flavors.
- If you prefer softer rolls, slightly reduce the baking time; for crispier edges, add 1-2 minutes.
