Ingredients:

Serves: 30

Yield: 30.0 cookies

• cooking spray, 2 spray(s)
• 1 cup sugar, granulated
• 1/4 cup regular butter, at room temperature
• 1/2 cup chunky peanut butter
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon table salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup whole-grain wheat flour
• 1 ounce semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions:

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 in several batches to prevent over-crowding if necessary.) Place a chocolate chip 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 1 or 2 minutes; remove cookies to a wire rack and cool completely. Yields 1 cookie per serving.
