Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cup All-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Unsalted butter room temperature
  • 1 ¼ cups Brown sugar packed light or dark
  • ¼ cup White granulated sugar
  • 1 cup Peanut butter creamy
  • 2 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
  • 2 Large eggs room temperature
  • 1 ¾ cups Mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  • In a medium mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside
    2 ½ cup All-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon Baking soda, 1 teaspoon Salt
  • Using a mixer, beat butter, brown sugar, and sugar together on medium for 2 minutes. The butter will be light and fluffy. Add in peanut butter and vanilla. Mix on medium until combined.
    1 cup Unsalted butter, 1 ¼ cups Brown sugar, ¼ cup White granulated sugar, 1 cup Peanut butter, 2 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
  • Add in eggs. Mix on high for 2 minutes. Scrape bowl. Slowly add in dry ingredients. Scrape bowl and mix again. Add in mini chocolate chips and stir to combine.
    2 Large eggs, 1 ¾ cups Mini chocolate chips
  • Cover and chill dough for 2 hours. Then, preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  • Use a large 3oz cookie scoop and scoop the dough. These make large cookies. (3-4 inch cookies) Place 6 dough balls per cookie sheet. Keep dough in fridge while cookies bake.
  • Bake for 13-16 minutes. Bake until edges are lightly golden brown. If baking smaller cookies they will need 8-10 minutes baking time. Let cookies sit on the cookie sheet for 4 minutes. Top with extra mini chocolate chips while warm. Then, transfer to a cooling rack.

Notes

Flour- Make sure flour is spooned and leveled or use a kitchen scale. Compacted flour will cause dry cookies.
High altitude baking- Add 2 tablespoon extra flour.
Bring butter and eggs out 2 hours before baking. It will get a higher rise in the cookies.
Dough HAS to be chilled for at least 2 hours, it is a very wet dough. Baking before then, will cause them to spread.
