Ingredients

• 1 cup peanut butter
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the peanut butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and softened butter until well combined and creamy.
3. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the peanut butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
5. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
6. Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may still appear slightly undercooked, but they will firm up as they cool.
8. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Once cooled, store in an airtight container for up to a week.
10. Enjoy these delicious peanut butter chocolate chip cookies with a glass of cold milk!
