Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
In my opinion, every one needs a go-to recipe for peanut butter cookies with chocolate chips. This is a great recipe to have in your wheelhouse because it has that classic peanut butter cookie flavor, and isn’t too difficult to make.

Ingredients for Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies
- Creamy Peanut Butter – You’re welcome to use crunchy peanut butter, but I prefer creamy for this recipe.
- Softened Butter – I always use salted butter, but if you only have unsalted you can just add an extra pinch of salt to the dough. If you like a buttery, crispy, melt in your mouth edge to your cookies, try using half butter and half margarine.
- Brown Sugar
- Granulated Sugar
- Egg
- All Purpose Flour
- Salt
- Baking Soda
- Chocolate Chips – You can use your favorite kind, or even substitute peanut butter M&M’s. My favorite are Ghiradelli Milk Chocolate Chips.

How to Make Peanut Butter Cookies with Chocolate Chips
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F.
- Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, then set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, or using an electric hand mixer, cream together the peanut butter, softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fully combined.
- Scrape the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula so that all ingredients make it into the mixture.
- Then add the egg and continue to mix until well combined.
- Now it’s time for the dry ingredients. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt, and continue to mix until a sticky dough forms.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and mix until those are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Now, portion the dough into about 2 1/2 tbsp balls. I use two scoops from my #50 cookie scoop for this and then roll the dough together into a ball.
- Place your medium sized cookie dough balls onto your prepared baking sheet.
- Slightly flatten each cookie dough ball so it looks like a hockey puck – this will give the cookie th perfect shape after baking.
- Bake the cookies in your preheated oven for about 11-13 minutes. The cookie will spread just slightly and the edges will begin to turn golden brown when they’re ready to be removed from the oven.
- Allow the cookies to cool directly on the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack.
- Store cookies in an airtight container & ENJOY!

How To Store Leftover Peanut Butter Cookies:
Place your leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature and they will stay fresh for up to 3 days. After about 3 days, they will start to get stale. So if you’re hoping to bake these cookies in advance or want them to last longer than 3 days, be sure to store them in the freezer!
How To Freeze Cookies:
You can freeze leftover cookies by placing them in an airtight container in your freezer for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to eat them, let the cookies thaw on the counter for a few minutes, or heat up in the microwave for a few seconds so they taste fresh out of the oven.
