Ingredients
  

For the Cookies
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup peanut butter creamy
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips semi-sweet

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Baking sheets
  • Whisk
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and peanut butter until smooth.
  3. Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  8. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. The centers may still look slightly soft.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
