Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Supporting Ingredients:
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
Leavening and Flavoring:
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Warm your kitchen oven precisely to 350F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper, creating a clean surface for your cookies.
- Grab a large mixing bowl and blend 1 cup peanut butter with 1 cup packed brown sugar and ½ cup granulated sugar until the mixture looks silky and smooth.
- Crack 2 large eggs into the sweet mixture and pour in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, stirring until everything combines seamlessly.
- Whisk 1 teaspoon baking soda and 1 cup all-purpose flour in a separate bowl to distribute ingredients evenly.
- Gradually introduce the dry ingredients into your wet mixture, stirring gently to keep the dough tender and light.
- Sprinkle 1 cup chocolate chips across the dough, folding them through so each cookie gets a perfect chocolate distribution.
- Scoop rounded tablespoon-sized dough balls onto your prepared baking sheet, keeping 2 inches between each cookie to allow spreading.
- Place the sheet in the 350F oven and bake for exactly 10-12 minutes until cookie edges turn a delicate golden brown.
- Remove the sheet and allow cookies to rest for 5 minutes, which helps them firm up without overcooking.
- Transfer cookies to a wire cooling rack, letting them cool completely before serving or storing.
Notes
- Creamy peanut butter works best for soft, chewy cookies with the perfect texture.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading and create thicker cookies.
- For gluten-free options, swap wheat flour with almond or coconut flour and use gluten-free chocolate chips.
- Press a few extra chocolate chips on top of each cookie dough ball before baking for a more photogenic look that ensures chocolate in every bite.
