Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Description
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies use creamy peanut butter blended smoothly with eggs, packed brown sugar, granulated sugar, and baking soda to create a balanced cookie dough. Dark milk chocolate chips are folded in gently to preserve their shape during baking. The dough balls are flattened slightly and spaced apart on parchment-lined sheets to allow even spreading.
Baking at 350°F for about 8 minutes yields cookies with lightly crisp edges and soft centers that firm as they cool. These cookies offer a rich peanut butter flavor complemented by melted pockets of chocolate throughout. Their chewy texture makes them satisfying as a snack or dessert.
These cookies can be enjoyed fresh, stored for a few days at room temperature, or frozen for longer storage. Choosing a creamy peanut butter without oil separation helps with dough consistency and sweetness balance.
Ingredients
- 2 cup peanut butter creamy
- 2 egg lightly beaten, large
- ½ cup dark brown sugar packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F, with rack on lower middle position. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Place all ingredients except for chocolate chips in stand mixer or a large bowl. On medium speed, mix ingredients just until fully incorporated. Gently stir in the chocolate chips.
- Form heaping 1 tablespoon-sized dough balls and place onto parchment lined baking sheet. Flatten them slightly, but keep them 2 inches apart.
- Bake 8 minutes. They should seem slightly under baked; they'll set up nicely as they cool.
- Let cool a few minutes on pan, carefully transfer to wire rack, and finish cooling.
Notes
- Use creamy peanut butter without oil separation for best dough texture.
- If using unsweetened peanut butter, increase sugars to 2/3 cup each of brown and granulated sugar.
- Preheat oven to 350°F and bake cookies on parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Remove cookies once edges look set; they will firm up during cooling for soft centers.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container for several days or freeze for longer storage.
