Adam's Mini Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients:

2 cups flour

1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs (room temperature)
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 1/2 tsp. Vanilla extract
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit
2. Mix flour, baking soda and salt in a bowl, and set aside.
3. Mix butter and sugars together in a large stand-up mixer for 2-3 minutes on medium speed.
4. Add eggs, one at a time, to the butter/sugar mixture. Beat each egg for one minute after adding. Mixture should now be light and airy.
5. Add peanut butter and vanilla. Mix at medium speed until peanut butter is fully incorporated.
6. Add flour mixture to the wet ingredients, one half at a time. After adding the first half, mix on lowest speed until flour is incorporated. Then increase speed until flour disappears. Repeat with the second half of the flour mixture.
7. Remove bowl from standing mixer. Add chocolate chips and mix them in by hand using rubber spatula.
8. On a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, drop small balls of dough (about 1 1/2-2 teaspoons worth) in rows about 1 1/2 inches apart.
9. Bake cookies on middle rack for about 4 minutes, or until golden brown. Watch carefully to make sure top of cookies don't burn. Transfer cookies to wire rack to let cool. Cookies will be slightly gooey in the center. Allow cookie sheet to cool completely before starting another batch.

Makes about 6 dozen cookies.
