Ingredients
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
½ cup packed brown sugar
⅓ cup granulated sugar
¾ cup creamy peanut butter
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cookie sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and 1 cup chocolate chips in a mixing bowl. Set aside.
Cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a bowl until light and fluffy. Add peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract; mix until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just incorporated. Fold in the remaining 1 cup chocolate chips.
Drop rounded tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared cookie sheet, spacing 2 inches apart. Bake for 10–13 minutes, until edges are golden. Cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Use a low-carb flour blend if desired. Substitute dark chocolate for higher cacao content. Omit granulated sugar for lower sweetness. Ensure the egg is room temperature for better texture.
