Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter with light brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg followed by the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing until just incorporated.
- Gently fold in the peanut butter until fully mixed.
- Stir in the chocolate chips gently.
Baking
- Scoop spoonfuls of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them apart.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are golden while the centers remain soft and chewy.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
For firmer cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking. You can sprinkle sea salt on top of warm cookies for added flavor contrast. Keep them in an airtight container for about a week at room temperature or freeze for longer storage.
