Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and peanut butter together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth and fluffy—about 2 minutes.
- Add in the brown sugar and granulated sugar, and beat again until fully combined and light in color.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Don’t overmix—this dough is delicate.
- Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet (about 1.5 to 2 tablespoons per cookie). Leave a bit of room for spreading.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, depending on your oven and cookie size. I made mine slightly larger and baked for 12 minutes—they were golden around the edges and just set in the center.
- Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. They’ll be soft and a bit fragile right out of the oven, but they’ll firm up beautifully as they cool.
Tips:
- These cookies stay amazingly soft even the next day—store in an airtight container.
- Use a cookie scoop for evenly sized cookies.
- Don’t skip the cooling time; they’re very tender right out of the oven!
