Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Indulge in the ultimate salty-sweet Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe. Chewy, melt-in-your-mouth perfection with rich chocolate chips.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 stick unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 2 large eggs plus 1 egg yolk at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 350ºF and lining your baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together.
- Melt the butter in a large microwave-safe bowl; then, vigorously mix in the peanut butter until smooth. Mix in both sugars, and then add the eggs and yolk one at a time, followed by the vanilla, mixing well after each addition.
- Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, and then fold in the chocolate chips. If the dough is too crumbly, consider adding a splash of milk to reach the desired consistency.
- If you have time, consider covering and refrigerating the dough for 24-72 hours to develop the flavors (allow it to soften at room temperature before baking).
- If you'd prefer to bake immediately, scoop the dough into 3-tablespoon-sized balls onto the prepared baking sheets, and flatten each cookie slightly. Add a few extra chocolate chips on top for a bakery-style look.
- Bake the cookies for 12 minutes until golden. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
