Ingredients:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Mix the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Stir until well blended and smooth.
- Add the dry ingredients: Stir in the baking soda and salt until fully incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Form the cookies: Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten each ball with the back of a spoon or your hand.
- Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are slightly golden around the edges. The centers may look soft, but they will firm up as they cool.
- Cool and serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
