Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup softened butter
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your cookies bake evenly and achieve the perfect texture.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, brown sugar, white sugar, and softened butter. Mix until the ingredients are creamy and well-blended. This step is crucial for ensuring a smooth, consistent dough.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract. Continue mixing until the egg is fully incorporated into the peanut butter mixture.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough cookies.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the dough. This is where the magic happens, as the chocolate chips provide bursts of sweetness in every bite.
- Shape the Cookies: Scoop the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Flatten each scoop slightly to ensure even baking.
- Bake: Place the cookies in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The center should still be slightly soft, as the cookies will continue to cook as they cool.
- Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, these cookies are ready to be enjoyed!
