Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 cup salted butter
• 1 1/4 cups light brown sugar
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chunks
• 1/3 cup chocolate chips and chunks to add to the top of cookies before baking

Instructions

• 1 Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• 2 Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• 3 In a large bowl mix the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  Set aside.
• 4 In a stand mixer, cream the butter, light brown sugar, peanut butter, and sugar
  together until creamy, about 2 minutes. Then add in the eggs and vanilla and
  beat for another 20 or so seconds until combined. Set aside.
• 5 Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix until just combined, do
  not overmix.
• 6 Fold in the chocolate chips and chocolate chunks using a rubber spatula.
• 7 Using a medium cookie scoop, place about two tablespoons of dough on the baking
  sheet at least 2 inches apart. Add extra chocolate chips to the top. Then bake
  in a preheated oven for 9-11 minutes.
• 8 Place a towel on the counter and then remove the baking sheet from the oven.
  Carefully drop the cookie sheet onto the towel a couple of times to create a
  rippled texture. Gently use your spatula to push the cookie into a circle and
  create more ripples on the edge of the cookie. (This step is optional)
• 9 Let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, and then transfer to a
  cooling rack.
• 10 Remove cookies from the baking sheet and cool on a wire rack.
