STACK OF 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 cookies recipe.

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!

How to Make Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

After mixing together the dough you can either add in chocolate chips, I like to use semi sweet or roll the balls of dough in sugar.

When I add chocolate chips into the dough I don’t roll the balls of dough in sugar .  I just form them into nice little balls and place them on the cookie sheet.

Before baking, smoosh down the balls of dough. You can use the bottom of a glass but I just use my hand. I do this 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. I love my cookies slightly crisp on the edges and chewy in the middle.

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!!

    Just made these. I made a double recipe. After reading the other comments I added a little more peanut butter, cut the sugar by a quarter cup per recipe, and also finished up my peanut butter chips, mini chips and regular chocolate chips. They turned out fantastic! Will definitely keep this recipe close by. Thank you for the recipe!

    These are good, but a bit too sweet. I would cut the sugar down next time. They took 13-15 min to bake at 350 F.

    Can you refrigerate the dough overnight?
