Equipment

Ingredients

1 cup butter room temperature
2 eggs room temperature
1 ¼ cup light brown sugar
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
1 cup peanut butter
2 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
3 cups flour
2 cups milk chocolate chips

Instructions

Pre-heat over to 375°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
Mix butter, vanilla, and eggs until well blended using a stand or a hand mixer.
Slowly add brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and creamy.
Next, mix in baking powder and salt. Add peanut butter and mix until well combined.
Slowly add the flour and mix until the dough starts to form a clump. Mix in chocolate chips.
Scoop the dough using a 2-inch cookie scoop. Place the dough on the lined cookie sheets leaving 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Bake for 10-13 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden brown.
Remove the cookies from the baking sheet and place them on a cooling rack. Cool completely. Serve and Enjoy!

Notes

Room Temperature Ingredients. Remove the butter and eggs ahead of time to come up to room temperature before mixing. Room-temperature ingredients blend more easily, so the dough is smoother and the flavors are fully mixed.

Don't Overmix. Especially after adding the flour! Overmixing can lead to a tougher texture. Mix until the flour is incorporated and then gently fold in the chocolate chips.

Perfectly Shaped Cookies. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to to scoop the dough so they are all the same size. This way, they will bake evenly.

Don't Overbake. You want cookies with soft centers so make sure to remove the cookies when the edges start to crisp up even though the centers may still look a bit soft.
