Make these classic peanut butter chocolate chip cookies for a simple, comforting treat. This recipe focuses on achieving a soft and chewy texture that is perfect for everyday enjoyment or sharing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in the chocolate chips by hand.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. You can press a fork across the tops in a crisscross pattern for a classic look.
  8. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden. The centers should still look slightly soft for a chewy result.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra gooey chocolate peanut butter cookies, press a few extra chocolate chips onto the tops of the dough balls immediately after removing them from the oven.
  • If your peanut butter is very stiff, you can microwave it for 15 seconds to make it easier to cream with the butter.
  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking if you prefer thicker, less spread-out cookies.
