Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
Add-ins
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, combine the room temperature butter, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, and creamy peanut butter. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the large egg and the vanilla extract until fully incorporated, creating a creamy batter.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined, making sure not to overmix to keep the cookies tender.
- Mix in Chocolate Chips: Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the cookie dough to ensure each cookie has plenty of chocolatey goodness.
- Scoop Dough – Small Cookies: For small cookies, use a regular tablespoon scoop to portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake Small Cookies: Bake the small cookies in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft.
- Scoop Dough – Jumbo Cookies: For jumbo-sized cookies, use a large cookie scoop (approximately 3 tablespoons) to place dough balls on the baking sheets, again spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Bake Jumbo Cookies: Bake these larger cookies for 11 to 12 minutes under the same temperature, watching carefully to avoid overbaking.
- Cool Cookies: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes; this allows them to set. Then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing.
Notes
- Ensure butter is softened to room temperature for easier mixing and better texture.
- Spacing cookies 2 inches apart is essential to prevent them from merging during baking.
- For chewier cookies, avoid overbaking; remove them slightly underdone as they firm up while cooling.
- Use parchment paper or silicone mats to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
