How to Make Decadent Peanut Butter Cup Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  4. Incorporate the eggs one at a time along with the pure vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Stir in the creamy peanut butter until the mixture is smooth and gradually fold in the dry ingredients.
  6. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  7. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto your prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for roughly 10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
