THE BEST CHOCOLATE CHIP PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES Recipe

5.2 from 23 reviews

These Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies are the perfect combination of nutty peanut butter, rich chocolate chips, and a hint of vanilla. They are soft, chewy, and utterly delicious!

Ingredients

Scale

    For the Cookies:

  • 1 cup peanut butter*
  • ½ cup butter (softened)
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 3 Tbsp milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups flour
  • ¾ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°.
  2. 2. With a hand mixer, cream together the peanut butter, butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until blended. Beat in the egg, milk, and vanilla for 2-3 minutes.

  3. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a separate bowl.
  4. Add flour mixture to the peanut butter mixture and mix together, just until combined.
  5. Stir in chocolate chips.
  6. Scoop tablespoonfuls of dough and roll into balls. Place cookies 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets (I used parchment paper since my cookies tend to burn on my darker pans). Press each ball once with the back of a fork.
  7. Bake for 8-10 minutes.

    Don’t overcook! These cookies are much better soft and just barely cooked all the way through! Let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the baking sheets and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
