Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter (2 sticks), softened
  • 1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
  • 1 1/2 cups Granulated Sugar
  • 3/4 cup Packed Brown Sugar
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 3 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 cups Chocolate Chips

Equipment

  • Baking Sheets
  • Stand Mixer or Hand Mixer
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and peanut butter until smooth.
  3. Gradually add the granulated sugar and brown sugar, beating until well combined.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft. Let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For extra peanut butter flavor, use a combination of creamy and crunchy peanut butter. You can also add nuts, pretzels, or other mix-ins to the dough.
