Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour spooned & leveled
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup light brown sugar packed
- 2 large eggs at room temperature
- 2 cups creamy peanut butter
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Mix-ins
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar for rolling (optional)
Instructions
Preparation
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- Cream the butter and both sugars together on medium speed until smooth, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs and beat on high until combined. Add the peanut butter and vanilla, then beat on high until combined.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix on low until combined. With the mixer running on low speed, add the chocolate chips.
- Cover and chill the dough in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Baking
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Scoop cookie dough into large balls, about 3 tablespoons of dough per cookie, and place on the cookie sheets. Press down slightly to flatten.
- Bake each batch for 14-15 minutes, or until the edges appear set and lightly browned. The centers will still look very soft.
- Cool cookies for 10 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
You can make the cookie dough and chill it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Baked cookies freeze well for up to 3 months.
