Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies
Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies
"Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies are soft and chewy, and they turn out perfect every time! Start with an amazing Peanut Butter Cookie recipe and add chocolate chips to take these cookies to the next level! Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies have become a staple around my house since I discovered this recipe. I know, I know. Everyone says that their cookie recipe is the best and that doesn’t always mean much, but I promise that this is the BEST peanut butter cookie recipe you have ever tried. I can say this because I have tried dozens and dozens of peanut butter cookie recipes and was never very excited about any of them. Until I tried this one. It seems like a lot of the peanut butter cookie recipes turn out really crumbly and dry. Not this one!"
Notes*Every time I have made these cookies I have used a regular creamy peanut butter (like Jif or a store-brand alternative). Several readers have commented that the cookies do not turn out as well when using a natural peanut butter.
Cooking Time9 min
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup softened butter
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
-
With a hand mixer, cream together the peanut butter, butter, white sugar and brown sugar until blended. Beat in the egg, milk, and vanilla.
-
Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a separate bowl. Add flour mixture to the peanut butter mixture and mix together.
-
Stir in chocolate chips at this point if desired. Scoop tablespoonfuls of dough and roll into balls.
-
Place cookies 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets (I used parchment paper since my cookies tend to burn on my darker pans). Press each ball once with a fork.
-
Bake for 8-10 minutes at 375. Don't overcook! These cookies are much better soft and just barely cooked all the way through! Enjoy!
