Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies Irresistible Treat

Ingredients

• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 2 cup chopped roasted peanuts (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix together until it reaches a smooth consistency.
3. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, and whisk until fully incorporated.
4. Sprinkle the baking soda and salt into the mixture, then stir until combined.
5. Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped roasted peanuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
6. Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie for spreading.
7. Flatten each ball slightly with the back of a fork, creating a crisscross pattern on top.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look soft; they will firm up as they cool.
9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
