How to Make Barefoot Contessa Pb Choc Chunk Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, and ¾ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 cup creamy peanut butter until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chunks (or a mix of milk and dark chocolate).
  7. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 17-19 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft. (They will continue to set as they cool).
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
