Classic peanut butter chocolate chip cookies that are crispy on the edges and chewy in the middle and full of chocolate goodness.
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 cookies 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! I’ve eaten a lot of peanut butter cookies and think this recipe is the best!

I just made these while my 10yr-old son was reading the recipe to me. Instead of saying 1/2 tsp. baking powder, he said 1 1/2 tsp baking powder! They still turned out great!

When I made these, i rolled out 24 as I didn’t read the comments first. At 11 minutes I took them out as I did not want to overbake. They looked underdone like you said they would, but after letting them cool I realized I didn’t cook them long enough. They were doughy and fell apart. Consider adding the quantity to your recipe directions, because smaller cookies would have been baked perfectly at 11 minutes.

I have made these twice within the past week at the request of my family. They are so good! We used chocolate chunks instead of chips. For some reason I don’t think I had ever heard of a peanut butter cookie with chocolate chips/chunks. One of the best kept secrets I’ve ever baked! Thanks!
