Salted Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Ingredients
1 cup plus 2 tbsp.
flour
1 tsp.
baking soda
½ tsp.
kosher salt
10 tbsp.
Kowalski's Unsalted Butter, at room temperature
¾ cup
dark brown sugar
½ cup
sugar
1
egg, plus 1 yolk
¾ cup
Kowalski's Fresh Creamy Peanut Butter (from the Dairy Department), at room temperature, stirred
1 tsp.
Kowalski's Organic Madagascar Vanilla Extract
½ cup
semisweet chocolate chunks
- sea salt (optional)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, soda and salt; set aside.
- Using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
- Add egg and yolk, then peanut butter, then vanilla; beat just until well combined.
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients; beat on low speed just until flour is no longer visible.
- Mix in chocolate.
- Drop 24 evenly sized rounded spoonfuls (or use a #40 cookie scoop) 2" apart on 3 parchment-lined baking sheets; sprinkle with sea salt.
- Bake pans one at a time in the preheated oven until just barely set and slightly puffy (7-9 min.), rotating pan halfway through (cookies will appear slightly underbaked when done).
- Remove from oven and set sheet pan on wire racks; let cookies cool completely on pan.
Tasty Tip:
- For the most beautiful cookies, lightly press a few chocolate pieces into the dough balls just before baking.
