- To whip up a batch of these irresistible cookies, you’ll need:
- Creamy peanut butter: Gives the base taste and smoothness.
- For sweetness and the right amount of chewiness, brown sugar and white sugar are used.
- Butter makes the cookie taste richer and helps it stay soft.
- Eggs: Use them to hold everything together for the best cookie structure.
- Vanilla extract: Makes the taste better.
- All-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt are the dry ingredients that are needed to give the dough shape and rise.
- Choose the type of chocolate chips you like—milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or even chunks for extra chocolatey goodness.
Step-by-Step Recipe
Let’s dive into the baking process:
- Warm the oven up to 350°F (175°C) and put parchment paper on a baking sheet.
- To make it smooth, mix the peanut butter, sugar, and butter together.
- One at a time, add the eggs, and then the vanilla extract.
- Mix the flour, baking soda, and salt together in a different bowl.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix them in until they are just mixed.
- Add the chocolate chips and mix them in until they are spread out evenly in the dough.
- Make balls of dough about the size of a tablespoon and put them on the baking sheet that has been prepared.
- Use a fork to slightly flatten each ball, making a crisscross design.
- When the sides are golden brown, it’s done baking.
- Let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before moving them to a wire rack to cool all the way.
Baking Variations
Get creative with your cookie creations:
- Peanut Butter Cup Cookies: Before baking, press a small peanut butter cup into the middle of each cookie dough ball.
- Adding a chocolate drizzle to the cookies after they have cooled will make them taste even better.

Storing and Freezing
To keep your cookies fresh:
Keep at room temperature in a jar that keeps air out for up to a week.
