Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients:

• 1.5 cups of flour
• 1.5 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp baking powder
• 0.5 tsp of soda
• 165 g unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1.5 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs at room temperature
• 340 g semi-sweet chocolate granules

Preparation:

1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. In another large bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar with a mixer on medium-high speed for 1 minute. Stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until smooth.
2. Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition, until the mixture thickens slightly. Reduce the mixer speed to medium, add the flour mixture, and knead until smooth. Stir in the chocolate chips. Cover and let sit at room temperature for 1 hour.
3. Meanwhile, position oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 375°F (190°C). Line three baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
4. Form the dough into a 5cm ball and place them on the prepared baking sheets, about 5cm apart.
5. Bake the cookies until golden brown but still soft in the center, 10-12 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through. Let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Cookies can be stored in a tightly sealed container at room temperature for up to 5 days..
