Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 stick unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 ½ cups semisweet chocolate chips
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and brown sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Add the peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix until fully combined and smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just incorporated.
- Fold in the chocolate chips using a rubber spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look slightly underbaked. Do not overbake.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
