- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
- Combine the ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, mix the peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and egg until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Incorporate the chocolate chips: Gently fold the chocolate chips into the dough, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.
- Shape the cookies: Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Place each ball onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between them. Use a fork to gently press down on each ball, forming a classic crisscross pattern.
- Bake to perfection: Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown. The centers will remain soft but will firm up as they cool.
- Cool and enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy these delicious treats!
Tips for Success:
- Nut butter alternatives: Switch up the flavor by substituting peanut butter with almond or sunflower seed butter.
- Custom add-ins: For added texture, try incorporating chopped nuts, coconut flakes, or dried fruits into the dough.
- Storage: These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, making them a great make-ahead treat.
