If you love the flavors of chocolate and peanut butter you will love my easy recipe for chocolate peanut butter cookies that are made in under a half hour!
We love a good chewy cookie in my home. This recipe for Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies fits the bill. If you love the flavors of chocolate and peanut butter you will need to try my Peanut Butter Ice Cream w/ Chopped Peanut Butter Cups after you are done making these cookies. They are so good!
I originally made these cookies for a food blogger cookie swap. Everyone loved them, although, they did not ship well. They are a thinner cookie and very chewy. So you can only imagine how they held up in the mail. The good news is–as long as you aren’t mailing them you should be able to enjoy them in one piece!
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.

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).
- Refrigerate – You can refrigerate your dough for 1-2 hours if you would like. This will help them from spreading thin.
- 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.
- 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.
