Jeff’s world famous chocolate chip cookies

Print Recipe

Ingredients

Scale

1 1/3 cup all purpose flour

3/4 teaspoon baking soda

3/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter at room temperature

3/4 cup dark brown sugar

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 tablespoon honey

1 egg

1 egg yolk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon sour cream

1 1/2 cups chocolate chips (I used mini chocolate chips)

Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 2: With an electric mixer, mix the softened butter and peanut butter together until thoroughly blended. Add the sugars and beat until smooth.

Step 3: Beat in the egg, honey, vanilla, and sour cream until combined.

Step 4: Add the dry ingredients slowly and beat on low-speed just until combined. Gently stir in the chocolate chips.

Step 5: Chill dough in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes-1 hour, or place in freezer for 20 minutes.

Step 6: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F

Step 7: Once ready to bake, roll dough into 1-inch balls and place onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 9-12 minutes (depends on size of your cookie) or until cookies begin to turn a tiny golden brown and crisp up around the edges. Do not overbake!

Step 8: Remove from oven and let cool on cookie sheet for 3-5 minutes before transfer to wire rack to cool completely

Notes

Cookies may appear underdone in the middle, but they will become more firm as they cool. Allow them to cool a few minutes before removing them from cookie sheet.

Don’t use all-natural peanut butter. Cookies will spread too thin when baking.
