Serves: 12
Ingredients
  • 1¾ cups light brown sugar, packed (USE LIGHT AND NOT DARK IF YOU DON'T WANT THEM TO SPREAD and TASTE VERY MOLASSES LADEN)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1¾ cups smooth peanut butter
  • 1 (100g) bar dark chocolate (or semi-sweet), chopped
  • Flaked Sea Salt
Instructions
  1. In a medium size bowl, vigoursly whisk together sugar and eggs until incorporated. Add the vanilla and whisk again to combine. Switch to a wooden spoon and mix in the peanut butter until no streaks are visible. Add the chocolate chunks and stir just to combine.
  2. At this point, you need to chill the dough in the freezer for at least 15 minutes or in the fridge for one hour so it's scoopable (Use a 2 oz ice cream scoop)
  3. Line a baking pan with parchment paper. Scoop cookie dough onto baking pan and leave at least two inches between the cookies.
  4. Sprinkle each cookie with a pinch of flaked sea salt and place the whole pan into the freezer again for another 15 minutes or you can chill in the fridge for a few hours until ready to bake.
  5. Preheat oven to 350F. Place the cookie straight from the chilling process into the oven and bake for 18 - 20 minutes. Remove and let cool on baking pan for 10 minutes then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
