Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar for about 2-3 minutes until smooth and creamy.
- Mix in the peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated, about 1-2 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt, then gradually add to the wet mixture until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula until evenly distributed.
- Scoop the dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each mound.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes for small cookies or 11-12 minutes for jumbo ones, until lightly golden.
- Cool on the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for later.
