Equipment

  • 1 Baking Sheet
  • 1 Mixer
  • 1 Medium Bowl
  • 1 Portion Scoop or large spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar light or dark
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter creamy or chunky
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chopped chocolate or chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, and on medium speed, use an electric mixer to cream butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using paddle attachment. 
  • Once the butter and sugars are creamed together, whisk in the eggs until they are fully incorporated into the dough.
  • Stir in the peanut butter mixture until it is smooth and runny.
  • Gently add in your dry ingredients of baking soda, baking powder, and flour, mixing on medium speed, until all ingredients are fully incorporated into the dough.
  • Gently fold in the chocolate chunks until they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
  • Scoop peanut butter cookie dough and then roll dough into small balls of dough. Place dough balls onto lightly sprayed cookie sheet, or line cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F for 8- 10 minutes baking time, until golden brown and light in color. 
  • Allow the cookies to cool until center sets, for a few extra minutes, before removing them from the baking sheet. Transfer to wire rack to allow them to finish cooling.

Notes

Notes:
  • For evenly baked cookies, try to make equal sized cookie dough balls. I try to use a 1 1/2 -2 inch cookie scoop, or about 1 1/2 - 2 tablespoon of dough. 
  • This recipe makes about two dozen cookies
