Peanut butter chocolate chip cookies are a delightful treat that combines the rich flavors of peanut butter and chocolate. Here's a recipe to make these delicious cookies:

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 and 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and creamy.
3. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until well combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
6. Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
7. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
8. Gently press down on each cookie dough ball with a fork to create a crisscross pattern.
9. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
10. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Once cooled, the peanut butter chocolate chip cookies are ready to enjoy! They are perfect for snacking or as a sweet treat with a glass of milk. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for freshness.
