Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter (for stuffing)
  • 1½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each, then stir in vanilla extract.
  3. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gradually mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just combined.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips evenly.
  6. Scoop teaspoon-sized portions of peanut butter onto a tray and freeze for 20–30 minutes.
  7. Take 2 tablespoons of dough, flatten it, place frozen peanut butter in the center, and seal into a ball.
  8. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
  9. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  10. Place dough balls 2 inches apart and bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are golden.
  11. Cool on baking sheet briefly, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Freeze peanut butter to prevent it from melting into the dough.
  • Chill dough if it becomes too sticky to handle.
  • Do not overmix dough to keep cookies soft.
  • Add sea salt on top for enhanced flavor.
  • Store with a slice of bread to keep cookies soft longer.
