Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Using a large mixing bowl and an electric mixer, beat together butter and peanut butter until the mixture is smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Sprinkle in brown sugar and granulated sugar. Mix on medium speed for 1-2 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt, then gradually add to the wet ingredients.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  6. Scoop portions of dough and roll into balls, placing them 2 inches apart on a lined baking sheet.
  7. Chill the dough for 30 minutes to enhance flavor and shape.
  8. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  9. Flatten dough balls slightly using a fork, maintaining space on the sheet.
  10. Bake for 8-12 minutes until edges are golden brown and centers look slightly underbaked.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature ingredients and avoid overmixing to retain chewiness. Chilling the dough will enhance flavor and ensure a better texture during baking.
