Ingredients

1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar (or sugar replacement) 100g
1/2 cup brown sugar (or sugar replacement) 90g
2 Tbsp. peanut butter 33g
1 large egg
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 180g
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 cup Lily's peanut butter chips (or any brand) 40g

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer. Beat in the egg, peanut butter and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in the peanut butter chips.
Using a 1.5 tablespoons cookie scoop, drop scoops of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie. If desired add extra peanut butter chips on top of each cookie dough ball. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the center is still soft.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Store your cookies in an airtight container for 3-4 days.

Notes

Nutrition facts are an estimate and will vary with substitutions.
Use softened butter. I like to pull mine out a couple hours before.
If you want the cookies to all be the same shape after baking, take to top of a mason jar lid, large round glass or circle cookie cutter, place it over the cookie, and swirl it around in a circular motion for a few minutes. This will result in the perfect circular cookies.
