Ingredients

  • 1 cup Smooth Peanut Butter *
  • ⅓ cup Yellow Golden Sugar packed
  • ¼ cup Granulated Sugar
  • ½ tsp Baking Soda
  • 1 large Egg Lightly Beaten
  • ¼ tsp Salt
  • ¾ cup Chopped Dark Chocolate
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 365°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat peanut butter, yellow sugar, and granulated sugar for 2 minutes.
  • Add baking soda, lightly beaten egg, and salt to the mixing bowl. Beat to combine.
  • Add chopped chocolate and fold it into the cookie dough with a wooden spoon.
  • Using a 2 tsp cookie scoop, scoop out dough onto the baking sheet. I usually scoop the dough into my hand and lightly roll it since this dough can be slightly crumbly.
  • If there is leftover chocolate in the mixing bowl, press the remaining pieces on the tops of each ball of dough.
  • Bake in the middle rack of the oven for 10-12 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes. I like to add some flaked salt to the tops.
  • Place cookies on a cooling rack until completely cooled.
  • Store in an air-tight container. Keeps fresh for a week!
