How to Make Old Fashioned Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in the milk chocolate chips.
  7. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour (or up to 24 hours for a richer flavor).
  8. Once chilled, scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  9. Gently press down on each cookie with the bottom of a glass or measuring cup.
  10. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 4 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
