Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Creamy peanut butter | 1 cup |
| Granulated sugar | 1/2 cup |
| Brown sugar, packed | 1/2 cup |
| Large egg | 1 |
| Vanilla extract | 1 teaspoon |
| Baking soda | 1/2 teaspoon |
| Salt | 1/4 teaspoon |
| Semi-sweet chocolate chips | 1 cup |
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, stirring until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together baking soda and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the peanut butter mixture until just combined.
- Stir in chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
- Using a tablespoon, scoop the dough and roll into balls. Place on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
- Flatten each ball slightly with the back of a fork to create a crisscross pattern.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Add a pinch of cinnamon to the dough for an extra layer of flavor.
- Substitute half of the peanut butter with almond butter for a different nutty twist.
