Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup peanut butter chips
Instructions
1. Cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Add eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
4. Gradually combine the dry mixture into the wet mixture on low speed until just mixed.
5. Gently fold in chocolate chips and peanut butter chips.
6. Optional: Chill dough for at least 1 hour to prevent spreading and enhance flavor.
7. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
8. Scoop dough into balls and place 2 inches apart on the prepared sheets.
9. Press extra chips on top for a bakery-style look.
10. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are golden and centers look slightly underdone.
11. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Notes
For extra soft cookies, slightly underbake and let them finish cooking on the sheet.
Use a cookie scoop to ensure uniform size and even baking.
Don’t skip chilling the dough if time allows—it makes a noticeable difference in flavor and texture.
