Ingredients
  

  • ¾ cup unsalted butter room temperature a stick and a half
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup softened brown sugar
  • 1 cup peanut butter creamy or crunchy
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Begin by preheating the oven to 350°F. Prepare your baking tray with either silicone baking mat, parchment paper or leave it ungreased.
  • Start combining the ingredients in a mixer. Cream together the butter, both types of sugar, peanut butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is evenly mixed.
  • Next, gently incorporate the flour, baking soda, and salt into the mixture. It's crucial to get the flour measurement right to avoid ending up with cookies that are too dry or crumbly. To do this accurately, aerate the flour with a spoon, then spoon it into your measuring cup and level it off with a knife's edge.
  • Stir in the chocolate chips into your dough. For a bit of extra chocolatey goodness, sprinkle a few more chips on top of each cookie dough ball if you'd like.
  • Scoop the dough onto your prepared baking sheets using an ice cream scoop or a large cookie scoop. Space the cookies about 6 per sheet to allow for spreading as they bake.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-14 minutes or until golden.
  • Once done, let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes to cool slightly before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
