Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Dough
  • 1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter Almond butter can be a fun substitution.
  • 1/2 cup Butter Make sure it's softened for the best texture.
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar Consider coconut sugar for a healthier alternative.
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar Sweetens the cookies to perfection.
  • 1 large Egg For a vegan option, use a flax egg instead.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Almond extract can provide an interesting twist.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour Substitute with a gluten-free blend if needed.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Kosher salt is recommended for that lovely texture.
  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips Swap for dark chocolate chips if you prefer a bolder flavor.

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Electric mixer
  • Spatula
  • baking sheet
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and creamy peanut butter using an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Once the butter and peanut butter blend is creamy, gradually mix in both the brown sugar and granulated sugar.
  3. Add the large egg and the vanilla extract into the mixture. Beat on low speed just until well combined.
  4. With the mixer on low, gently blend in the baking soda and salt.
  5. Slowly add the all-purpose flour to the mixing bowl, incorporating it gradually while mixing on low speed.
  6. Using a spatula, gently fold in the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed.
  7. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place the dough balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  8. While the dough is chilling, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  9. After chilling, retrieve your dough from the refrigerator. Use a fork to gently flatten each dough ball.
  10. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-12 minutes.
  11. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
