I love baking cookies and this Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe is usually my go to. When it comes to cookies I want them to be thick, soft and chewy. And those come out perfect every time. Well, these peanut butter chocolate chip cookies just might be the thickest and softest cookies I have ever tried! They are so decadent and delicious!
These peanut butter cookies are very similar to your regular chocolate chip cookie recipe. You start with creaming together the butter with the sugars and here you just add peanut butter. It gets all nice and creamy then you add in the eggs and vanilla. Finally stir in the flour, baking soda and salt. I like to use milk chocolate chips with this recipe, but you can really use whatever you have and like. Any form of chocolate and peanut butter together is never wrong!
You will want to gently press down the balls of dough before you bake. These cookies do not spread very much at all, so unless you want them super thick, gently press down before putting the tray in the oven.
These these super soft peanut butter chocolate chips cookies. These cookies are perfectly thick, chewy, fluffy, and definitely worthy of a tall glass of milk! If you are a fan of peanut butter and chocolate together, you are going to want to add these to your baking list. This No Bake Peanut Butter Cream Pie is a must at our house!
Can you Freeze Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Yes, most definitely! Once the cookies are fully coo;ed you can place them in an air tight container and store in the freezer for a couple months.
I like to freeze the dough, so you can bake them fresh. Scoop balls of dough and place on a baking tray. Let them sit in the freezer for 1-2 hours until they balls of dough are solid, then put in a food storage bag and put in the freezer. Then you can just bake a couple cookies at a time when cravings strike or a whole tray if guests show up. Then you have warm and gooey cookies at any time.
This peanut butter cookie recipe is based on these Reese’s Peanut Butter Cookies that have proven to be very popular around here. I love my cookies to be soft and chewy, and these peanut butter cookies are exactly that.
If you are looking for a different dessert to make, then these cookies are a must make. I have been asked for the recipe every time I share them with people. Just beware, it is hard to eat just one!
