How to Make Awesome Peanut Butter Cookies
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup peanut butter (or almond butter), ½ cup granulated sugar, and ½ cup packed brown sugar until well combined.
- Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually stir in 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour and 1 cup chocolate chips (or chunks) using a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Roll dough into 1 ¼-inch balls.
- Place dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Gently flatten each ball with a fork, creating a criss-cross pattern.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown and the centers are set.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
