How to Make Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 cup of packed brown sugar, then add 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 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 1 cup creamy peanut butter and 2 cups chocolate chips (or your preferred substitutions).
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Avoid overbaking to maintain a soft, chewy texture.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
