Take a look at that! The ultimate chocolate chip cookie for all my cookie enthusiasts and peanut butter lovers :))
- Cornstarch- Cornstarch is going to help keep the cookies firm and dense enough when baked.
- Dark brown sugar- This is key to getting the deep rich flavor that we know and love.
- Baking soda & baking powder- The combination of the leavening agents help give the cookie more air and work very well to give it that cookie-like texture
Enjoy with a cold glass of milk, or alone as a quick sweet-treat! This hands down might be one of my favorite recipes to use when making cookies.
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Recipe details
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup peanut butter chips (such as Reese's Peanut Butter Chips)
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
- In a separate, larger bowl, cream the butter, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar using a hand mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light, airy, and slightly lighter in color—about 4-5 minutes.
- Add the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition to fully incorporate.
- Once the wet ingredients are thoroughly combined, gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing just until incorporated. Be careful not to over mix; the dough should come together without any dry clumps.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips and peanut butter chips using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Scoop the dough into generously sized balls, or to your preference, and place them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Refrigerate the dough balls for at least 30 minutes to help them maintain their shape during baking.
- Once chilled, bake the cookies for 13-14 minutes, or until they develop a light golden color on top.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
Tips
- It's extremely important that the butter is at room temperature to make creaming the butter and sugar together easy and smooth
- Room-temp. eggs result in a smoother mixture
