Who doesn’t love the lip-smacking duo of peanut butter and chocolate? These cookies will fly off the serving plate when you bring them out for a crowd.

2 sprays cooking spray
1 cup sugar, granulated
1/4 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup chunky peanut butter
2 large egg(s)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp table salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 cup whole-grain wheat flour
1 oz Nestle Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chunks, or other brand (about 40 pieces)

Instructions


1. Preheat oven to 375ºF. Coat 2 cookie sheets with cooking spray or cover with parchment paper.
2. Place sugar, butter and peanut butter in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla; blend well with mixer.
3. Add salt, baking soda and flour to sugar mixture; beat until completely incorporated.
4. Drop batter by heaping teaspoons onto prepared cookie sheets and flatten with the back of a wooden spoon. Make sure to leave about 2 inches between each cookie. (Bake several batches to prevent over-crowding if necessary.) Place a chocolate chunk in center of each cookie.
5. Bake cookies until edges brown, about 10 to 11 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool on cookie sheet for another 1 or 2 minutes; remove cookies to a wire rack and cool completely. Yields 1 cookie per serving.
