Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chunks
- 1/2 cup milk chocolate chunks
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate (melted, for dipping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream together butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture.
- Fold in the chocolate chunks, reserving a few for topping each cookie.
- Scoop dough into balls and slightly flatten. Press reserved chocolate chunks on top.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are golden and centers are still soft. Let cool completely.
- Dip the bottom of each cooled cookie into melted dark chocolate and place on parchment until set.
Notes
- Use room-temperature ingredients for best mixing consistency.
- Don’t overbake—cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
- Swap milk chocolate for white chocolate chunks for variation.
- Chill dough for thicker cookies with less spread if desired.
