Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookies Recipe

Ingredients

For the Cookies:

• 1 cup creamy or chunky peanut butter

• 1 cup granulated sugar

• 1 large egg

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, egg, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt. Mix until smooth and well combined.

3. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

Step 2: Shape and Bake

1. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

2. Flatten each ball slightly with the back of a fork, creating a crisscross pattern on top.

3. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look soft, but they will firm up as they cool.

4. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 3: Serve

• Enjoy your delicious peanut butter chocolate cookies warm or at room temperature!

Tips

• For an extra touch, you can sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of the cookies before baking.

• Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

Happy baking!
