Ingredients for Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup (1 stick) softened butter
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
Mix-In
- 1 cup chocolate chips (semisweet or milk chocolate)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat & Prep
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cream Butter & Sugars
In a large bowl, beat together softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
3. Add Egg & Vanilla
Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture, mixing just until incorporated.
5. Fold in Chocolate Chips
Gently stir in 1 cup chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
6. Shape & Bake
Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on the baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden (centers will look slightly underbaked—this keeps them soft!).
7. Cool & Enjoy
Let cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Enjoy warm with a glass of milk!
Pro Tips for the Best Cookies
🔹 Use room-temperature butter – Ensures proper creaming for a fluffy texture.
🔹 Don’t overbake – Cookies firm up as they cool; slightly underbaked = extra chewy.
🔹 Customize add-ins – Try peanut butter chips, chopped nuts, or a sprinkle of sea salt on top.
🔹 Storage – Keep in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze dough for 3 months.
