Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.<\/div><\/li><li id=\"wprm-recipe-85682-step-0-1\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\">Brown your butter: add butter to a large saucepan and place over medium heat. The butter will begin to crackle, and then eventually foam. Make sure you whisk constantly during this process. After a couple of minutes, the butter will begin to brown and turn a nice golden amber color on the bottom of the saucepan. Continue to whisk and remove from heat as soon as the butter begins to brown and give off a nutty aroma. Immediately transfer the butter to a medium bowl to prevent burning. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes or until cool enough to touch.<\/div><\/li><li id=\"wprm-recipe-85682-step-0-2\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\">Mix together wet ingredients: Once brown butter has cooled, transfer to a large bowl. Add in the peanut butter, brown sugar, room temperature egg and egg yolk, honey and vanilla and whisk together until smooth, thick and well combined.<\/div><\/li><li id=\"wprm-recipe-85682-step-0-3\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\">Stir in dry ingredients: Add the flour, baking soda and salt to the bowl and then stir with a wooden spoon until well combined. Fold in chocolate chips, if desired.<\/div><\/li><li id=\"wprm-recipe-85682-step-0-4\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\">Use a large cookie scoop or \u00bc to grab dough and then use your hands roll into golf-sized balls. Roll balls in sugar then place at least 2 inches apart on a prepared baking sheet. (If you want to make medium sized cookies, use a medium cookie scoop and roll them into smaller dough balls about 2 tablespoons each.) Add 6-7 extra chocolate chips on top of each cookie (or 3-4 if making smaller cookies).<\/div><\/li><li id=\"wprm-recipe-85682-step-0-5\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\">Bake large cookies for 12-16 minutes and smaller cookies for 8-10 minutes until edges begin to turn slightly golden brown and cookies are set. Do not overbake or cookies will dry out. Remove from oven and sprinkle cookies with sea salt, if desired. Allow cookies to cool for 10 minutes to help set up on the cookie sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling. Repeat with the remaining dough. Makes about 9 to 10 large cookies or 16 smaller cookies.<\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"ak-rcp-f\">\n  <div class=\"wprm-recipe-notes-container wprm-block-text-normal\"><h3 class=\"wprm-recipe-header wprm-recipe-notes-header wprm-block-text-normal wprm-align-left wprm-header-decoration-none\" style=\"\">Recipe Notes<\/h3><div class=\"wprm-recipe-notes\"><span style=\"display: block;\">See the full post for tips, tricks &amp; freezing instructions!<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n  <div class=\"ak-rf-c2\">\n    \n    \n  <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"dmc-content-inner content f-links-with-shadow jpibfi_container\">\n<p>Recipe by: Monique Volz \/\/ Ambitious Kitchen | Photography by:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/eatloveeats.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Eat Love Eats<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The BEST bakery-style soft peanut butter cookies you&#8217;ll ever eat!
