By balancing brown and white sugars with creamy peanut butter, you get a stable, moist dough that bakes into bakery-quality perfection every time.

Ingredients

Scale

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the creamy peanut butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually stir in the flour and baking soda until just incorporated.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes to improve flavor and texture.
Scoop portions of dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheets.
Bake for 12 minutes until the edges are golden brown.
Cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Chilling the dough is highly recommended for deeper flavor and better structure. If you prefer a chewier texture, you can substitute a portion of the flour with bread flour.
