Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and peanut butter until light and fluffy.
3. Add the sugars gradually, beating until well combined.
4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Don’t overmix!
6. Fold in the chocolate chips.
7. Drop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, – leaving about 2 inches between them. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are slightly soft.
8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
