Description

Delicious cookies combining the rich, creamy flavor of peanut butter with the decadence of brownies for a delightful treat.

Ingredients

Scale

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Cream together until light and fluffy.
Mix in the creamy peanut butter until fully incorporated. Then, add the egg and vanilla extract, beating until creamy.
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients and mix on low speed until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula until evenly distributed.
Spoon tablespoon-sized amounts of cookie dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Serve warm right out of the oven with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a glass of cold milk. For a gourmet touch, drizzle with melted chocolate or sprinkle with sea salt.
