Ingredients
¾cupbuttersoftened
¾cupsugar
1cupbrown sugar
1cuppeanut butter creamy or crunchy
2large eggs
1tablespoonvanilla extract
2 ½cupsall-purpose flour
1teaspoonbaking soda
½teaspoonsalt
1 ¼cupsbutterscotch chocolate chips
¾cupwhite chocolate chips or chocolate chips
Optional: Sea salt sprinkles on top - doesn't hurt! It actually brings out the flavors even more intenselyespecially if you love the sweet and salty vibe, but it's optional.
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet or 2 with parchment paper or ungreased baking sheet.
Using a mixer, mix the butter, sugars, peanut butter, eggs and vanilla together until combined.
Add in the flour, soda, and salt in and mix until just combined. Make sure you measure flour correctly, or cookies will be dry & crumbly. (Fluff flour, spoon flour into cup and level off with a knife.)
Fold in chocolate chips.
Using an ice cream scoop or large cookie scoop, scoop the dough onto parchment lined cookie sheets. Add some additional chocolate chips on top if you wish. Cookies will expand some, so 6 cookies per sheet is recommended.
Cook for 12-14 minutes at 350. Do not overbake cookies to get best results for soft cookies!
Remove cookies from oven and cool on baking sheet 2-3 minutes before placing on cooling rack. Immediately sprinkle with sea salt, if desired.
Make sure baking sheets are cooled before adding next batch of cookies to go into oven!
Notes
You can make smaller cookies, just reduce the time baking and keep a watch on them the first round to make sure you don't overbake! Enjoy!
