Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies are a delicious twist on the classic chocolate chip cookie, combining the rich, nutty flavor of peanut butter with the sweetness of chocolate chips. Here’s a simple recipe to make them:

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup (240g) creamy peanut butter

• 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar

• 1/2 cup (100g) packed brown sugar

• 1 large egg

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 1 cup (180g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.

3. Add dry ingredients: Stir in the baking soda and salt. Mix until fully incorporated.

4. Fold in chocolate chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

5. Scoop the dough: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion out the dough into balls (about 1-2 tablespoons each). Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

6. Flatten slightly: Use a fork to gently press down on each cookie to flatten slightly and create a crisscross pattern (optional but traditional for peanut butter cookies).

7. Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The cookies will be soft but will firm up as they cool.

8. Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:

• For extra chewy cookies, slightly underbake them (around 9-10 minutes).

• Use crunchy peanut butter for added texture.

• Add a pinch of cinnamon or a handful of oats for a unique twist.
