– 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
– 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, beat the butter and peanut butter together until well combined.
3. Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar and beat until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
7. Fold in the chocolate chips.
8. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
10. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a crispy edge and soft center, bake the cookies for 10 minutes. For a chewier texture, bake for 12 minutes. Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
