Classic Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
Sometimes simple recipes are the best recipes! This is my absolutely favorite peanut butter cookie recipe and they are soft and chewy!
Serving
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened to room temperature
- 2 cups chunky peanut butter
- 1½ cups brown sugar
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1½ Tablespoons milk
- 1½ teaspoons vanilla
- 2½ cups flour
- 1½ teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup peanut butter chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large bowl combine the butter and peanut butter and beat the mixture until it is light and fluffy. Add the brown and white sugars and mix until well combined.
- Add the eggs and mix until the mixture is well combined and light in color. Add in the milk and vanilla and mix until blended.
- Add the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Add in the chocolate chips and peanut butter chips. Let the cookie dough sit for 15 minutes before scooping onto the baking sheets. It will firm up as it sits.
- When ready to bake, roll into 1 1/4 inch balls of dough and place onto parchment-lined baking sheets leaving about 1 to 2 inches in between the cookies to allow for spreading as they bake. Bake for 8-10 minutes, taking care not to overbake.
- Leave the cookies on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes after baking before removing them to a cooling rack. This will help them set up and be firm enough to transfer without having them overbake in the oven. The cookies may look slightly underbaked but they will firm up as they cool.
Notes
- This recipe makes a ton, so I throw half in the freezer and save them for another day!

I love anything that has PB in it, so I may have to give this a try! Thanks for the recipe!
yummmmm! I must try this! thanks girls! xo
Sharing this recipe on my blog tomorrow! bellesbazaar-heather.blogspot.com
This is the same recipe that I use, and it is by far, the best PB cookie recipe I’ve ever tasted. Sometimes I just do plain PB cookies, and do the traditional criss-cross on top. I love your blog!
Do you have a print link for your recipes?

These look great and thick too! I love peanut butter cookies and will add some chocolate chips to my recipe next time. http://www.cookeatdelicious.com/sweets-recipes/cookies-recipes/classic-peanut-butter-cookies-recipe.html
Thanks!
DO YOU FREEZE THE DOUGH OR THE COOKIES?
You could do either! 🙂
These are probably the best pb cookies(or any for that matter) that i have ever had/made! I add 1/2 Peanut Butter chips and 1/2 choco chips!! Soo good!
Can these be made with plain peanut butter with same amounts on ingredients?
These can be made with smooth or chunky peanut butter.
Fantastic recipe! I made a half batch to try it out. I’d did make two very small changes. Since I used salted butter, I didn’t add any salt. And I added cornstarch – 3/4 t for a half batch. Thanks for posting this.
Just made these for Thanksgiving. Very dense cookie, did not “spread” like picture. I think a glass of milk is a prerequiste to nibble one of these. Hubby was not usual Cookie Monster.
Best cookie recipe I’ve made!! It’s a go to keeper
