Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter You can substitute with chunky peanut butter for a crunchier texture.
  • 1 cup brown sugar Packed tightly in the measuring cup.
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg Room temperature is preferred.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Method
 

Preparation
  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, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
  4. Add the baking soda and salt to the mixture and combine thoroughly.
  5. Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  6. Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of dough and place them on the lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. For the swirl effect, take a toothpick and swirl it through the cookie dough, mixing the chocolate chips and peanut butter a bit.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze them for up to three months. Reheat in the microwave for 10-15 seconds if desired.
