Directions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then add the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
5. Fold in the chocolate chips.
6. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and flatten it slightly. Place a teaspoon of peanut butter in the center, then top with another tablespoon of dough, sealing the edges.
7. Place the stuffed dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft.
9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your delicious Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies!
