This is a family favorite and the cookies don't last long! The original recipe I got from the Sistercafe blog, but I made a few changes in it. Here is my version of the recipe:
1 cup Unsalted butter (2 sticks) softened to room temperature*
2/3 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla
2 2/3 cup all purpose flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 bag dark chocolate chips** (you have to use the dark chocolate - the milk chocolate makes it too bland).
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Cream the butter, peanut butter, sugar, brown sugar, vanilla and eggs together until smooth.
Combine the flour and baking soda.
Add to the butter mixture.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the cookies just start to get brown. Let them cool a minute or so on the cookie sheet before transferring to the rack.
Enjoy!
*I always use unsalted butter because there is no standard on how much salt the manufacturers are supposed to put in salted butter. So it could vary from brand to brand. It is just easier to put the salt in yourself.
**Hersheys makes a Special Dark Chocolate Chip which can be found at Walmart and Meijiers. If you want to get really fancy, you can use Ghirardelli chocolate chips!
