Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 1/2-2 cups chocolate chips (honestly, I don’t measure- I just toss ’em in!)

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter, peanut butter, and sugars until smooth and creamy. Add egg and vanilla until combined. Mix dry ingredients together in a smaller bowl (flour, baking soda and baking powder) and add to dough in a few additions, mixing until well incorporated. Add chocolate chips and mix to combine. Drop into 1″ balls on an ungreased (or parchment/silicone lined) baking sheet. Gently press a crisscross pattern into top of cookie with a fork. Bake for 6-8 minutes, until edges are set and bottoms are very lightly browned. Cool for a couple of minutes on baking sheets and then transfer to a cooling rack. Makes about 3 dozen cookies.
