Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Cookies

Chocolate peanut butter chip cookies are made in under an hour, and taste like you’re eating a brownie topped with ooey gooey peanut butter. This easy cookie recipe comes together in under an hours time (including chill time).

We love a good chewy cookie in my home. This recipe for Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Cookies fits the bill. If you love the flavors of chocolate and peanut butter you will need to try my Peanut Butter Ice Cream with Chopped Peanut Butter Cups after you are done making these cookies. The ice cream is so good!

I originally made these cookies for a food blogger cookie swap. Everyone loved them, although, they did not ship well since the original recipe they were very thin cookies Now, they are plump and very chewy. A far cry from the previous recipe.

I love the chocolate/ peanut butter combo, and just had a feeling these cookies would be amazing. I am a fan of the chewy-soft cookie. Some like theirs hard, thin, thick, etc… I like mine chewy and soft, and of course preferably fresh out of the oven! These cookies encompass everything I love about a cookie and more. The ratio of chocolate to peanut butter (in my opinion) is perfect! I hope you’ll bake these cookies up and share them with family, friends, and neighbors.

Ingredients

• Dry Ingredients – All Purpose Flour, Baking powder, Cocoa powder, Salt, and sugar
• Butter – Unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled works best.

• Vanilla extract – High quality vanilla extract will yield the best flavor.
• Peanut Butter chips – This is what gives it that creamy.

Directions

First, Heat oven to 350°F.

Stir together flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt; set aside.

Beat butter and sugar in large bowl with mixer until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well. Gradually add flour mixture, beating well. Stir in peanut butter chips.

Drop by rounded teaspoons onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Feel free to add a few more peanut butter chips on top and push them in.

Bake 8 to 9 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit on the baking tray for 5 minutes.

Then carefully remove each cookie and let cool completely on a wire baking rack.

Tips & Tricks

Here are all my tips and tricks whenever I make my Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Cookies.

• Yield – Depending on the size you make the cookie depends on how many you will yield. This recipe makes 4-½ dozen cookies (about 54 cookies).
• Butter – 1 stick of unsalted butter yields ½ cup or 4 ounces. This recipe calls for 1 cup butter or 8 ounces melted.
• Soft and Chewy – If you are looking for soft and chewy cookies the combination of the melted butter mixed in with the brown sugar will yield a soft and chewy cookie.
• Refrigerate – You need to refrigerate your dough for at least 30 minutes and up to 24 hours before baking.
• Do Not Over Bake – Do not be tempted to over bake the cookies. The cookies will be soft upon removing from the oven. Let them sit and set for a few minutes before removing off the baking sheet as they will continue to cook and set. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Storage – Store cooked cooled cookies in a cookie jar or an air tight container for up to 1 week. Although, best to consume within 3 days of making.
