Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies are a chewy, old-fashioned peanut butter cookie recipe. The mini chocolate chips & peanuts really make this recipe!

I’m often hesitant to a share recipe for a food that already has a million recipes out there – like peanut butter cookies.

These Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies are so good that I decided it was worth it to make it one million and one recipes.

The cookies don’t have the traditional cross-hatch design that most peanut butter cookies have. Instead, they’re made like a regular drop cookie.

These cookies also have chopped peanuts and mini chocolate chips. I love crunch peanut butter, so I really like the combination of crunchy peanut butter with the chopped peanuts.

How to make peanut butter chocolate chip cookies

Begin by beating the butter and peanut butter together until well-combined. Either chunky or creamy peanut butter will work in this recipe.

Add the sugars, and beat in until well-combined.

Mix in the egg and vanilla until combined.

Add the dry ingredients, and mix in just until combined.

Stir in the chocolate chips and chopped peanuts.

Drop 1.5 tablespoon scoops (medium cookie scoops) of dough onto the prepared baking sheets.

Bake cookies until light golden brown around the edges and soft in the middle. 7uuiujujki

Can I use natural peanut butter?

I love natural peanut butter, but I don’t recommend it for this recipe. These cookies really work best with a regular peanut butter.

Do I need to flatten the cookies?

I’ve gently flattened the cookies and made them without flattening. It didn’t seem to make much of a difference either way.

Can I use regular chocolate chips?

Sure! The mini chips just add a little extra oopmh without making the cookies chocolaty.

You can use regular or jumbo chocolate chips instead. You can also use chocolate chunks, if you prefer.
