How to Make Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 cup creamy peanut butter using a wooden spoon or electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  3. Gradually add 1 ½ cups granulated sugar and mix until well combined.
  4. Beat in 1 large egg.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 teaspoons baking powder, 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, and ½ teaspoon salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and ½ cup chopped peanuts (or 1 ½ cups M&Ms).
  7. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes (or up to 2 hours). This helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much during baking.
  8. Roll dough into 15 balls and place them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Gently flatten each cookie with a fork.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
