Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup extra crunchy peanut butter
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter (1 1/2 sticks)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp. real vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp. sea salt
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 2 tbsp. hot water
  • 2 to 2 1/4 cups UNBLEACHED all-purpose flour (Bleached flour toughens baked goods)
  • 12 oz. pkg. semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Mix brown sugar, sugar, peanut butter, butter and eggs with an electric mixer until smooth.
  • Add vanilla, salt, baking soda and hot water and mix again until well blended.
  • Add vanilla, salt, baking soda and hot water and mix again until well blended.
  • Drop with a large cookie scoop or large tablespoon onto ungreased cookie sheets.
  • Bake at 350° about 12-15 minutes or until done.
  • Rotate cookie sheets on racks after eight minutes.

Notes

NOTE: My cookies took about 16 minutes to bake.
NOTE: These cookies spread a lot. Be sure not to crowd the cookies.
NOTE: Be sure NOT to grease the cookie sheets before baking as these cookies spread a lot and do not need extra grease to cause them to spread more.
NOTE: I took the cookies out at 16 minutes while they were still rising but well browned. Then the cookies sank as they cooled.
NOTE: For a slightly rounder and softer cookie add ¼ cup more flour.
NOTE: If you don’t want the cookies to spread quite so much, freeze the cookie dough balls on cookie sheet about 10 to 15 minutes before baking.
