These cookies are a delightful twist on the classic peanut butter and chocolate combination, offering a soft and chewy texture with rich chocolate chunks.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Ensure the butter is at room temperature for smoother mixing.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, and peanut butter to the bowl and mix until well combined.
Mix just until combined to avoid overworking the dough.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Sifting the dry ingredients can help prevent lumps.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Do not overmix to keep the cookies tender.
Fold in the chocolate chunks evenly throughout the dough.
Reserve a few chocolate chunks to place on top of the cookies for a nicer presentation.
Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.
Use a cookie scoop for uniform sizes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underdone.
Do not overbake; the cookies will continue to set as they cool.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cooling on the sheet helps the cookies firm up without overcooking.
Serve the cookies with your favorite beverage and enjoy!
These cookies are perfect for sharing with friends and family.
