Chocolate Dipped Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies
Report
These chewy peanut butter cookies combine smooth peanut butter with both brown and white sugars for a tender, flavorful bite. Adding two eggs (whole and yolk), milk, and vanilla enhances moisture and richness, while the gradual stirring of dry ingredients keeps the dough light and airy. Dipped in granulated sugar before baking, the cookies develop a slightly crisp sugary exterior. After baking, the cookies can be dipped in dark chocolate and decorated with sprinkles, adding a festive touch.
Description
Chocolate Dipped Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies start by creaming unsalted butter, peanut butter, and sugars until fluffy. Eggs, milk, and vanilla are incorporated, followed by the gradual addition of flour, baking soda, and salt to create a soft dough. Rolling scoops of dough in granulated sugar before baking helps form a sweet crust.
Baked briefly at 350°F, these cookies maintain a chewy texture and gentle crisp edges. The peanut butter flavor is forward but balanced by the sugars and added moisture. After cooling, they can be dipped in melted dark chocolate and garnished with Christmas sprinkles for a festive finish.
They are suitable for storing in airtight containers at room temperature for several days or freezing dough balls for future baking, making them convenient for holiday preparations or casual treats.

Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. kosher salt
- 6 Tbsp. butter unsalted, softened
- 2/3 cup light brown sugar packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar plus more for rolling
- 1/2 cup peanut butter creamy, like Jif or Skippy, not natural
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 1 large egg yolk, room temperature
- 1 Tbsp. milk whole
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract pure
- 5 oz. dark chocolate melting wafers Ghirardelli brand
- Sprinkles Christmas
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or Silpat baking mats. Whisk together the dry ingredients in a medium sized mixing bowl and set aside.
- In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and peanut butter on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, ~3-4 minutes, scraping down the sides of the mixing bowl as needed.
- Add in the egg and yolk, milk and vanilla, mix again until combined, once again scraping down sides of bowl as needed.
- Slowly add in the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. The dough will be really light/fluffy/airy but shouldn’t be overly sticky. You can let the dough sit out for a bit or place in the fridge for just 10 minutes so the flour hydrates the dough making it a bit easier to work with.
- Scoop the cookie dough with a 2 Tbsp. scoop and roll in granulated sugar. (should yield ~14-16 cookies)
- Place on prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes (I like to go slightly underbaked for a delicious chewy cookie, the edges should be a light golden brown and centers still a little gooey looking, they will continue to bake on baking sheet when removed from oven). They are puffy when removed from oven and will flatten out a bit as they cool.
- Swirl a cup around the cookies when still warm if needed to make perfect circles. Let them rest on the cookie sheet for a few minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Melt the chocolate wafers in a microwave safe bowl in 30 second increments until melted completely. Dip half of a cooled cookie into the chocolate and decorate with festive sprinkles. Allow chocolate to set up and harden, and enjoy!
Notes
- Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Freeze unbaked dough balls in a single layer for up to 3 months; bake straight from frozen adding about a minute to baking time.
- Dough can be refrigerated for 2–3 days before baking—allow to come to room temperature before baking.
