Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chunks
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Fold in chocolate chunks.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden. Centers will look slightly underbaked.
- Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For extra texture, use crunchy peanut butter instead of creamy.
- Top with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt before baking for a sweet-salty bite.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
