Tips for making this peanut butter chocolate chip cookie recipe:

• For easy clean-up, use parchment paper on your baking sheets. It can be reused more than once – but it is very slippery on the pan. Make sure you don’t tilt the pan as you’re placing it in the oven or your cookies may slide off!
• Baking times vary based on the type of baking sheets you have. If in doubt, set your timer for a few minutes less and check them early. In order to have soft and chewy cookies, you want to take them out of the oven before they are golden brown. Just the tiniest bit of brown on the edges is perfect!

To freeze these peanut butter chocolate chip cookies:

Once completely cool, place them in a tightly sealed ziploc bag or plastic container with a lid and place in the freezer.
