  • Prep Time 15 minutes
  • Cook Time 12 minutes
  • Yield 16 cookies 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cookie sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and 1 cup of chocolate chips. Set the mixture aside.
  3. In another bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Incorporate peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  4. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just incorporated. Gently fold in the remaining 1 cup of chocolate chips.
  5. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared cookie sheet, keeping them spaced 2 inches apart. Bake for 10–13 minutes, or until the edges are golden. Allow to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to one week.
Feel free to substitute chocolate chips with your favorite mix-ins, like nuts or dried fruit.
For extra crunch, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
