The perfect classic thick and crunchy peanut butter cookie, loaded with chocolate chips for even more deliciousness.

Ingredients
 

  • 8 ounces unsalted butter, very soft
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups peanut butter, (creamy, crunchy, or a mix of both)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 2 3/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 cups chocolate chips or chopped chocolate

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350° F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Cream the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes. Add peanut butter; beat in well. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing in throughly. Add vanilla.
  • Whisk dry ingredients (flour, salt, baking powder & baking soda) together in a separate bowl. Add dry ingredients to butter mixture and fold just until combined. Fold in chocolate.
  • Scoop rounds of cookie dough onto parchment lined sheet pans, about two inches apart. Use a fork to press into the cookie dough in a traditional criss-cross pattern. Bake until lightly golden, about 9-11 minutes, rotating halfway through.
