So we have a bit of a theme going this week on the blog.
Monday we had peanut butter pancakes.
Tuesday we had chocolate chip cookie dip.
So take the best part of those two recipes – the peanut butter and the chocolate chips and you have today’s recipe!
The Best Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies.
We had an event at our home this weekend that I needed to make some treats for and I was craving peanut butter cookies. I went to my blog to get the recipe and guess what!!?? It wasn’t there. I had never posted my peanut butter cookie recipe. What kind of food blogger doesn’t have a recipe for peanut butter cookies on their blog!!?? Yikes! I decided I better fix that problem right away so today you are getting my favorite and the BEST peanut butter chocolate chip cookie recipe.
Of course you could make these without chocolate chips but since I think peanut butter and chocolate is basically a match made in heaven my peanut butter cookie have chocolate chips in them!
When I add chocolate chips into the dough I don’t roll the balls of dough in sugar like I do if I’m not using chocolate chips. I just form them into nice little balls and place them on the cookie sheet.
And then I like to smoosh them down a bit with my hand so they spread out a bit more when they are baking. It’s totally a personal preference.
If you like a soft peanut butter cookie be sure and NOT overbake them. They will be just slightly golden brown and probably look like they need another minute or two to bake.
The next step is grab a nice cold glass of milk and a couple of cookies, maybe more than a couple because these babies are good! On a cookie scale of 1- 5 – they are a 5!! That means you can eat five of them with no worries!!

Thanks for sharing! They look delicious!
I cannot wait to try these! They look so good! One note though…you forgot to mention chocolate chips in your list of ingredients (although by the title, that should be self-explanatory, I guess!). Your Best Ever Banana Bread is a family favorite around here…I’m sure these will be right up there!
Thanks – just updated the recipe. Appreciate you catching that and so glad you like the banana bread!!
Yummy!!! I can’t wait to make these!!!
I am craving them again already after making them this weekend!!
They look so delicious!!

Happy Day

These are definitely a happy marriage of peanut butter and chocolate! Love killing two birds with one stone!!
I so agree that there’s nothing better than peanut butter & chocolate, so I can hardly wait to try this recipe. I also shared it on my Pinterest!
Thanks Angela!!
These look delicious! Wish I had some right now…guess I will have to make some… Thanks for the recipe, Leigh Anne.
Made these last night. They were awesome! I left out the chocolate chips since I had just made choc. chip cookies earlier in the week. Well actually… I measured out the chips, then munched most of them while I was rolling the dough in sugar! Yum. Thank you for another awesome recipe.
Yeah – they are pretty good aren’t they – with our without chocolate chips!!
They look wonderful! YUM!
Thank you for linking up to Wednesday Extravaganza! Come back tomorrow to vote and maybe claim the first spot on my Wall of Fame

I made these this afternoon and they were really good. My kids loved them! Thanks for the great recipe!
Made these for choir practice today. A double batch. They all vanished in about 5 minutes. I love ‘em with super chunk peanut butter rather than creamy.
This is the first time I comment on a recipe. So you can imagine how SCRUMPTIOUS these cookies were. One word: YUM!!!!! And I added chocolate bar chunks, chocolate chips, AND rolled cookies in sugar. Triple yum! Also, for anyone interested in a dairy-free version, I used margarine and soy milk and the cookies turned out GREAT. Thank you so much!
I am so glad you liked them! Thanks for the info on your dairy free version. Thanks for leaving a comment.
I was wondering how many does this make?

About 3 dozen, depending on how big you make them.
I made these with a tablespoon scoop and got exactly 4 dozen. I’m at high altitude so I added 1/4 cup of flour and reduced the sugar by a few tablespoons as well and they turned out great!
thanks for the tip on the high altitude! I made my cookies a bit bigger for 3 dozen.
Hi Leigh Anne!! It’s me again! Just wanted to post to say how wonderful those cookies were again!! I posted it to my page on facebook Beautiful Things, Heart and Home and my regular facebook page!! Some are going to make them tonight!! I loved them! they tasted just like the cookies at the Cookie Factory at the mall!!! Delicious! thanks again!! Lori Gentzler Lentz
I love that you loved the cookies do much. I am totally craving them now!! Thanks for letting me know.
These are the best cookies. I made them for my mom and step dad and they loved them. My mom wanted the recipe so she could make them.
So glad everyone enjoyed them! They are yumm!!
