Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 30 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer. Beat until light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Ensure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips using a rubber spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set but still soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- • Ensure your butter and peanut butter are at room temperature for the smoothest, creamiest mixture. • Don't overmix the dough - this can lead to tough cookies. Mix just until ingredients are combined. • Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes, which helps ensure even baking. • For extra richness, try using a mix of milk and dark chocolate chips. • Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to help them set before transferring to a wire rack. • Store in an airtight container to maintain softness and freshness. • For a fun variation, try adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking for a gourmet touch.
