Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies
Imagine biting into a warm cookie that melts in your mouth, with rich notes of chocolate combined with the creamy goodness of peanut butter. This recipe guarantees that you’ll impress family and friends. Let’s dive into the ingredients you’ll need to whip up your own batch of these scrumptious cookies.
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Add in the baking soda and salt, continuing to mix until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Fold in the chocolate chips gently to give those lovely pockets of melty chocolate throughout the cookies.
- Using a tablespoon, scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure to leave some space between each cookie as they will spread while baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look a bit underbaked, but they will continue to firm up as they cool.
- Remove from oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, serve these cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage. They are a perfect treat for any occasion or even just to enjoy on a cozy evening at home. Enjoy the delightful taste of chocolate and peanut butter with every bite!
