Delicious Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate morsels

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get it ready while you prepare the cookie dough.

2. Prepare the Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.

3. Cream the Butter and Sugars
In a large bowl, beat the unsalted butter, creamy peanut butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.

4. Add Egg and Vanilla
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat until fully integrated and smooth.

5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, beating on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

6. Fold in Chocolate Morsels
Using a spatula, gently fold in the semisweet chocolate morsels, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the dough.

7. Shape the Cookies
Form tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place them onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

8. Bake the Cookies
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will appear slightly underbaked, which is perfect for a chewy texture.

9. Cool the Cookies
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
