- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¾ cup (130 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preparation: Warm the oven to 350F (177C) and arrange parchment paper on baking sheets.
- Creaming: Whip butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until airy and smooth in a spacious mixing bowl.
- Wet Ingredient Integration: Incorporate peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract, blending thoroughly until the mixture achieves a uniform consistency.
- Dry Ingredient Combination: Sift flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate container, then gently fold into the wet mixture, stirring until just incorporated.
- Chocolate Enhancement: Gently fold chocolate chips into the cookie dough, distributing evenly throughout the mixture.
- Portioning and Placement: Shape dough into rounded tablespoon-sized portions, positioning them two inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Baking Process: Slide cookies into the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, watching for lightly golden edges while maintaining soft centers.
- Cooling Technique: Allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack to reach room temperature completely.
Notes
- Use exact measurements for flour, sugar, and peanut butter to ensure consistent cookie texture and flavor.
- Soften butter at room temperature for smoother mixing and better cookie consistency.
- Fold chocolate chips gently to prevent overmixing and ensure even chip placement throughout the dough.
- Watch cookies closely during last 2 minutes of baking to maintain soft, chewy center while achieving golden edges.
