Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Have you ever bitten into a peanut butter cookie and it’s just too rich? That’s me. I love peanut butter out of the jar or on toast, but when it comes to candy, cookies, and pies…it’s always overdone. This cookie is just right; a perfect balance of salty and sweet. It’s not too hard or soft. I didn’t do the cliche fork design either. This are sophisticated peanut butter chocolate chip cookies, that needed a sophisticated new look.
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies: Recipe Highlights
This is a simple recipe, and totally worth the 25 minutes total of prep and baking time. It doesn’t use any hard-to-find ingredients. First thing: get your butter, peanut butter, and brown sugar combined and mix until creamy.
Once that’s done, toss in everything else except the flour and chocolate chips (baking soda, baking powder, vanilla, and egg); mix well. Then slowly add in the flour and combine until its just mixed. Lastly, fold in the chocolate chips.
I set up a baking sheet and lined it with parchment paper. Then, I rolled the dough into one inch balls and baked the cookies in a 350-degree ℉ oven for 15 minutes. I typically freeze cookie dough for a few minutes, but this recipe doesn’t need it. Once it’s was done baking, I lifted the parchment paper and laid it directly on my cooling rack. The cookies are pretty delicate straight out of the oven, so be careful. They firm up as they cool.
