Ingredients
- ¾ cup unsalted butter softened
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup peanut butter
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1¼ tsp baking soda
- ¼ cup granulated sugar for rolling cookies
- 2 large milk chocolate bars cut into 1” pieces
Instructions
- Using a countertop mixer, cream together butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (~3-4 minutes on medium speed).
- Add peanut butter; mix until well combined.
- Add eggs and vanilla extract; mix until well combined.
- Using a small bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and baking soda. Add dry ingredients to mixer bowl; mix dough just comes together (~1-2 minutes).
- Place dough in refrigerator for at least 1 hour. (This dough is soft, and refrigerating it makes it easier to scoop/shape.)
- Form ~1½ Tbsp of dough around one piece of chocolate. Take care to make sure dough is completely sealed or the chocolate will melt out while baking.
- Roll dough ball in sugar and place on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Repeat using remaining dough and chocolate pieces.
- Refrigerate cookies for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Bake for 13-16 minutes, or until edges of cookies just begin to turn brown.
- Remove from oven. Let cookies cool slightly before transferring to a cooling rack.
