Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter softened

3/4 cup light brown sugar packed

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs room temperature

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 1/2 cups all purpose flour spooned and leveled

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons cornstarch optional for thicker cookies

1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

1 cup peanut butter baking chips


Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light, creamy, and slightly fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.

3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing just until incorporated, then blend in the vanilla extract and scrape down the sides of the bowl.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and cornstarch until well combined.

5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in two additions, mixing on low speed or by hand just until no streaks of flour remain.

6. Fold in the semi sweet chocolate chips and peanut butter baking chips with a spatula until they are evenly distributed through the dough.

7. Scoop the dough into balls about 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons each and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie to allow for spreading.

8. Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until the edges look set and lightly golden while the centers still appear soft and slightly underbaked.

9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

For thicker, bakery-style cookies with deeper flavor, chill the dough for 30–60 minutes before baking.

You can swap some or all of the semi sweet chocolate chips for milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips to adjust the sweetness and richness.

Pull the cookies from the oven when the centers still look a little soft; they will finish setting as they cool on the baking sheet, keeping the texture chewy.
