Description
These cookies are a beautiful contradiction—crisp yet chewy, sweet but salty, chaotic in ingredients yet perfectly harmonious in flavor. With chunks of dark chocolate, peanut butter chips, and rich brown sugar in a buttery base, they come together in a way that defies logic—and keeps you coming back for more.
Ingredients
1 cup salted butter, softened
1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt (if using unsalted butter)
1 cup dark chocolate chunks
3/4 cup peanut butter chips
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (2–3 minutes).
3. Add the egg and vanilla extract; beat until combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt (if using).
5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients just until combined.
6. Fold in the chocolate chunks and peanut butter chips gently until evenly distributed.
7. Scoop dough onto baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
8. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are golden and centers look slightly soft.
9. Let cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
To get that “bakery look,” press a few extra chocolate chunks and chips into the tops of the dough before baking.
These cookies continue to bake on the sheet after you pull them from the oven—don’t wait for a fully set center.
Want thicker cookies? Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to reduce spreading.
