Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240g) creamy peanut butter (natural, unsweetened recommended)
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (110g) packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup + 2 tablespoons (135g) all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (175g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  3. Mix in 1 cup creamy peanut butter and 1 large room temperature egg until fully combined. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet peanut butter mixture until just combined.
  6. Gently stir in 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, ensuring even distribution without crushing.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop generous mounds of dough (about 2 tablespoons or 30g each) onto prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until edges are set and lightly golden but centers remain soft and slightly underbaked.
  9. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for best results. Don’t overmix the flour to keep cookies tender. Pull cookies out when edges are set but centers are still soft for chewy texture. Chill dough for 30 minutes to get thicker cookies. Use natural peanut butter and fresh baking soda for best flavor and rise.
