Ingredients

Main Ingredients

1 cup peanut butter Can use creamy or crunchy
1 cup brown sugar Packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar Regular white sugar
1 large egg Can substitute with flaxseed meal or applesauce for vegan option
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda Ensure it's fresh
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup chocolate chunks Semi-sweet or dark chocolate recommended

Method

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt. Mix until smooth.
Fold in the chocolate chunks.
Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Baking

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned.
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze for up to three months. Use quality chocolate for better flavor. Chilling the dough can yield thicker cookies.
