Peanut-butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

110 gr butter
120 ml creamy peanut butter
100 gr granulated sugar
110 gr packed brown sugar
2 eggs
4 gr vanilla
170 gr all purpose flour
5 gr baking soda
1 gr salt
425 gr semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350-degrees F.

Combine the softened butter or margarine and the peanut butter in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy. Gradually add the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Beat in the eggs and vanilla until well combined; set aside.

In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda and salt. Add the flour mixture and chocolate pieces to the dough. Stir until the dough is well blended.

Drop the batter by tablespoonfuls onto lightly greased cookie sheets.

Bake for 9 to dozen minutes or until the edges of the cookies are lightly browned or a slight impression remains when the cookies are lightly touched with a fingertip.

Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
