Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Treat yourself with these sweet and salty, chocolatey, nutty Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter, softened
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup roasted, salted peanuts roughly chopped
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or grease heavily with cooking spray.
- Beat the softened butter and peanut butter in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until light and fluffy (about 1-2 minutes on medium speed).
- Add granulated sugar and brown sugar until well incorporated.
- Add the eggs and vanilla and beat until smooth.
- Stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt by hand using a spatula to ensure you do not over-mix at this stage.
- Roughly chop the peanuts. Stir in the peanuts and chocolate chips until incorporated.
- Scoop out large balls of dough (2 scoop-fulls with a normal cookie scoop, 1 scoop if using an ice cream scoop) and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheet.
- Bake for 14-16 minutes until edges are slightly browned. Allow cookies to cool on the cookie sheet for about 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
