Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, firmly packed light brown sugar, and the large egg. Mix until smooth and well combined.
  • Sprinkle in the baking soda and stir until fully incorporated.
  • Gently fold in the milk chocolate chips.
  • Scoop out portions of the dough onto your prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden and centers look set.
  • Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a healthier version, use natural peanut butter without added sugars.
  • Swap milk chocolate chips for dark chocolate for a richer flavor.
  • Freeze unbaked cookie dough for later baking; just add a minute or two to the baking time.
