Ingredients You'll Need:
This recipe yields approximately 24 large cookies. Adjust quantities as needed.
- For the Cookie Dough:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips
- 1 cup peanut butter chips
Step-by-Step Baking Instructions:
-
Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze!
-
Cream the Butter & Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. A stand mixer or hand mixer works perfectly for this step.
-
Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the vanilla extract and eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
-
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
-
Gradually Combine: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
-
Stir in Chocolate & Peanut Butter Chips: Gently stir in the chocolate chips and peanut butter chips. The more chips, the merrier!
-
Scoop & Bake: Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
-
Bake to Perfection: Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
-
Cool & Enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips for Extra Delicious Cookies:
- Chill the Dough: For thicker, chewier cookies, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This allows the flavors to meld and prevents spreading.
- Use Quality Ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the cookies! Opt for high-quality butter, vanilla extract, and chocolate chips.
- Experiment with Mix-ins: Feel free to add other mix-ins, such as nuts, dried fruit, or sprinkles.
- Don't Overbake: Overbaked cookies will be dry and crumbly. Start checking for doneness around the 9-minute mark.
Serving Suggestions:
These cookies are delicious on their own, but you can also serve them with a glass of cold milk, a scoop of ice cream, or even a cup of coffee. They're perfect for any occasion!
