Ingredients:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the peanut butter.
- Drop by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Press a semisweet chocolate chip into the center of each cookie.
Tips:
- For a chewier cookie, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
- For a more intense peanut butter flavor, use natural peanut butter.
- If you don’t have semisweet chocolate chips, you can use milk chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips.
- You can also decorate the cookies with sprinkles or chopped nuts.
