Indulge in the irresistible charm of these peanut butter chocolate chip cookies. A symphony of nutty and chocolatey goodness that requires minimal effort, making them perfect for any occasion. Their slightly underbaked centers offer a melt-in-your-mouth experience that will leave everyone craving more.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease your cookie sheets to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)
In a medium bowl, blend the peanut butter, shortening, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and creamy. Incorporate the water, followed by the buttermilk baking mix. Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed. (10 minutes)
Roll the dough into walnut-sized balls. Place them on the prepared cookie sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten each ball with the tines of a fork, creating a crosshatch pattern. (10 minutes)
Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are slightly soft. (10 minutes)
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (5 minutes)
