Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350℉. Line baking sheet(s) with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, using an electric handheld mixer on medium speed, mix the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until combined. Add the egg, egg yolk, vanilla, and peanut butter and beat on high speed until fluffy.

Add the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt and mix on low speed just until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.

Roll into balls of 1-2 tablespoons of dough and place the prepared baking sheet, placing each cookie 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 6-10 minutes or until puffy and no longer wet-looking on top. Let cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling. Finish baking the remaining cookies. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Butter Softening Secret 🧈
Let butter and peanut butter sit at room temperature for 30-45 minutes before mixing to ensure smooth, even incorporation and optimal cookie texture.
Chocolate Chip Distribution Magic 🍫
Toss chocolate chips in a tablespoon of flour before adding to the dough to prevent them from sinking and ensure even distribution throughout the cookies.
Precise Measuring Technique 🥄
Use the 'spoon and level' method for flour measurement to avoid dense, tough cookies - spoon flour into the measuring cup and level with a straight edge.
Chill Dough for Depth ❄️
Refrigerate cookie dough for 30-60 minutes before baking to intensify flavors and prevent excessive spreading during baking.
Perfect Scoop Technique 🍪
Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to create uniform-sized cookies that bake evenly and look professionally made.
