Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Homemade peanut butter chocolate chip cookies that are rich, chewy, easy to make, and ready in under 20 minutes.

Salty Sweet Cookies

Last month I shared some delicious chocolate peanut butter cupcakes that my husband just can’t get enough of! That delicious flavor combination of those cupcakes was the inspiration for this recipe. Deliciously soft and chewy peanut butter cookies sprinkled with rich chocolate chips that make them extra gooey and yummy!

I’m not a huge fan of cookies that are overly rich and decadent, but these cookies are the perfect amount of sweet! I definitely prefer eating them warm, right out of the oven (mostly because I can’t wait too long to dive in!) but I also just love the combination of a warm cookie with a cold glass of milk – doesn’t that sound amazing right now?

How To Make Peanut Butter Cookies

Prep – Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F so you’re ready to bake once the dough is ready. I also like to like my baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Mix It Up – Cream together the butter, peanut butter, white sugar and brown sugar until everything has blended together well.

Next, add the egg and vanilla and them stir until the mixture is smooth. Once smooth, add the flour, baking soda, and salt to the bowl and then mix until everything has blended together. Once the dough is made, fold in the chocolate chips until they are evenly mixed.

Roll & Mash – Roll out balls of dough that are about the size of a tablespoon and place them on the cookie sheet and then mash them down with a fork.

And The Heat – Bake the peanut butter cookies for 10-12 minutes or until they are a light golden brown around the bottom.
