Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter or almond butter
- ½ cup sugar granulated or brown
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- Optional Add-Ins:
- Pinch of sea salt
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- Swap peanut butter for almond or cashew butter
Instructions
- Step 1 – Preheat and Prep
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Step 2 – Mix the Dough
- Combine peanut butter and sugar in a bowl. Stir until smooth and thick.
- Fold in chocolate chips evenly.
- Step 3 – Shape the Cookies
- Scoop ~1 tablespoon of dough per cookie. Roll into balls and place on baking sheet.
- Press lightly with a fork to flatten and create a crisscross pattern.
- Step 4 – Bake
- Bake 8–10 minutes, until edges turn golden.
- Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Use creamy peanut butter (not natural or oily) for best results.
- Avoid overbaking — cookies continue to cook slightly as they cool.
- Sprinkle a tiny bit of sea salt on top for a bakery-style finish.
- Dough can be frozen and baked later — add 2 extra minutes to baking time.
