Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Description
The recipe combines classic cookie ingredients including flour, baking soda and powder, salt, butter, sugars, and creamy peanut butter, plus eggs and vanilla for binding and flavor. Chocolate chunks provide bursts of semi-sweet chocolate throughout each cookie.
After mixing, cookie dough is scooped onto baking sheets spaced apart to allow spreading. Baking at 375°F caramelizes the edges lightly while keeping the center soft and chewy. Cooling on the sheet stabilizes texture before transferring to racks.
A tip suggests reserving some chocolate chunks to press atop each dough mound for a visually appealing finish. Cookies store well in an airtight container for up to a week, maintaining softness with balanced chewiness. They are a satisfying treat for peanut butter and chocolate lovers.
Ingredients
- 3 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butter at room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 cup peanut butter creamy
- 2 egg large
- 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chunks or roughly chopped or chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees and very lightly grease a baking sheet OR line with parchment or a baking mat.
- In a medium bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl cream together butter and sugars.
- Mix in peanut butter til smooth and creamy.
- Mix in eggs and vanilla.
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Stir in chocolate chunks.
- Use a large cookie scoop (I actually use an ice cream scoop) to scoop cookie dough into mounds and arrange at least 2-3 inches apart on your prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes until cookies begin to brown just around the very edges. Allow to cool on the pan for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Repeat with remaining cookie dough. Store in airtight container up to 1 week (though they won't make it that long without being eaten - just sayin').
Notes
- Reserve about one-third cup of chocolate chunks to place atop dough mounds before baking for a polished look.
