How to Make Awesome Peanut Butter Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. 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.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. 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.
  5. Roll dough into 1 ¼-inch balls.
  6. Place dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  7. Gently flatten each ball with a fork, creating a criss-cross pattern.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown and the centers are set.
  9. Let cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
