1. Prep Like a Pro
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats to ensure a non-stick surface. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
2. The Luxury Mix
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes). Beat in the egg and the vanilla extract until fully incorporated. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients on low speed, mixing until just combined—do not overmix. Gently fold in the 2 cups of chocolate chips by hand.
3. Bake to Perfection
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie. Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers still look slightly soft. Remove from the oven and let the cookies rest on the sheet for 5 minutes to firm up before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
