Puffy Peanut Butter Cookies with Chocolate Chips
Report
Puffy Peanut Butter Cookies with Chocolate Chips are rich, soft-centered cookies combining melted butter, peanut butter, and sugars, with chocolate chips for sweetness. Baking at a moderate temperature develops slightly brown edges while keeping centers soft and puffy, offering a chewy, tender texture.
Description
This recipe for Puffy Peanut Butter Cookies with Chocolate Chips uses melted and cooled salted butter and creamy peanut butter mixed with brown and white sugars to create a rich dough. Eggs and vanilla add moisture and flavor, while all-purpose flour and baking soda provide structure and lift. Chocolate chips folded into the dough add bursts of sweetness. The dough is shaped into golf ball–sized portions and baked at 325 degrees Fahrenheit until edges turn slightly brown but centers remain soft and puffy. This controlled baking time and temperature preserve the cookies' tender texture and a slightly chewy bite. Cooling completely before serving ensures optimal softness and flavor development.

Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 8 tablespoons butter melted and cooled, salted
- 6 tablespoons peanut butter melted and cooled, creamy
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 egg at room temperature, plus 1 egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Add butter and peanut butter to a microwave safe bowl, and heat in 30 second increments until melted. Let cool completely.
- Mix the flour and baking soda in a bowl and set aside. In another bowl, mix the cooled butter/peanut butter and sugars until they are combined. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla and stir until mixed. Gradually add flour and mix until a dough forms – it will look crumbly at first, but it will come together. I even used my hands to bring it all together. If necessary, add 1-2 teaspoons of milk, but I did not need this. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Shape the dough into a ball the size of a golfball. Place on a baking sheet two inches apart and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are slightly brown. The centers should be soft and puffy. Do not over bake. Let cool completely then dig in!
Notes
- This recipe is adapted from the Giant Rainbow Cookies but uses a simpler move to peanut butter cookies with chocolate chips.
