Peanut-butter chocolate-chunk cookies

14 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
½ cup Unsalted butter; (1 stick) room
Temperature
¾ cup Smooth peanut butter
½ cup Granulated sugar
½ cup Dark-brown sugar; tightly packed
1 large Egg
½ teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
1 cup All-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon Baking soda
6 ounces Semisweet chocolate; coarsely chopped

Directions

1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter, peanut butter, and sugars together until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla, and mix on medium speed until combined. Sift flour and baking soda together, and add to butter mixture, beating just to combine. Fold in chocolate chunks.

2. Using a 1½-ounce ice cream scoop, form dough, and place on a baking sheet lined with a nonstick baking mat (Silpat), pressing down slightly to flatten. Bake until golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Store in an airtight container up to 1 week.

————— Notes: Martha updates her oversized peanut-butter cookies by adding handmade chunks of Valrhona chocolate. For best results, use a creamy variety of your favorite peanut butter. To form dough Martha uses an ice-cream scoop to insure that the cookies maintain a uniform size and bake evenly
