If you’re a fan of the classic combination of peanut butter and chocolate, these Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookies are sure to be a hit! They bring together the rich, creamy flavor of peanut butter with the sweet indulgence of chocolate, creating a delectable treat that’s perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients:
– 1 cup creamy peanut butter
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 large egg
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined. The dough will be thick and slightly sticky.
3. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
4. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, portion out the dough into approximately 1-inch balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
5. Flatten each ball slightly with the back of a fork, creating a crisscross pattern on top of each cookie.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden brown. Be careful not to overbake; these cookies are best when they remain soft and chewy.
7. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
