How to Make Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 cup creamy peanut butter until light and fluffy.
  3. Gradually add 1 ½ cups granulated sugar and ¾ cup packed brown sugar, creaming on medium speed until well combined.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until thoroughly incorporated.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Stir in 2 cups chocolate chunks (or chips).
  8. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  9. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft. (Baking time may vary depending on your oven).
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
