    These Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies are large chewy cookies with crisp edges. They’re loaded with creamy peanut butter and mini chocolate chips. No chill time required!

    The peanut butter chocolate combination is a classic. This recipe is SO good. These cookies are super soft thanks to the butter and peanut butter, and they’ve got just the right amount of sweetness.

    Why you’ll LOVE this recipe

    • Simple ingredients.
    • No chill time.
    • Classic peanut butter and chocolate combination.
    • One bowl recipe.
    • Thick, chewy cookies with crisp edges.
    • Loaded with creamy peanut butter.

    Key Ingredients

    Full recipe and ingredients are in the recipe card below. Feel free to scroll through this section to view certain key ingredients we’re using!

    Brown sugar: I used light brown sugar, but golden yellow or dark brown also works.

    Butter: Unsalted butter works best for baking. Remove from the fridge 2 hours before baking or the night before.

    Eggs: Remove from the fridge 2 hours before baking or the night before.

    Mini chocolate chips: These cookies use mini chocolate chips. Using mini rather than semi-sweet allows for perfect balance between the peanut butter and the chocolate flavours.

    Peanut butter: Use creamy peanut butter. Natural peanut butter is too runny.


    Step by Step Instructions

    Here is a more detailed step-by-step than the recipe card. Scroll down for a full recipe video and measurements.

    Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F/175°C and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

    Step 2: Cream together the butter and two sugars on high. The texture will be light and fluffy.

    Step 3: Add in the creamy peanut butter and vanilla extract. The mixture will look creamy. Add in the egg, and turn your mixer on high for 2 minutes. It will look light and soft. Check out the video for reference.

    Step 4: Fold in the flour and baking soda until just combined. Make sure not to overmix.

    Step 5: Mix in the mini chocolate chips for a few seconds on low speed.

    Step 6: Use a 2 oz cookie scooper. Scoop 3-4 tbsp per cookie onto the baking tray. Roll into even balls. Bake six cookies at a time for 10-13 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the outside of the cookie is a light golden brown colour. The inside will still look soft.

    Step 7: Remove from the oven and allow to sit on the tray for 5 minutes. The cookies will continue to bake from the warmth! Now would be the time to add extra mini chocolate chips if desired.

    Expert Baking Tips

    Here are four awesome baking tips from my kitchen to yours

    Chewy cookies will only be created with proper aeration in the dough. This is the process of adding air into the dough, and why it’s important to mix on different speeds during the first few steps.

    Creamy peanut butter must be used. Natural is too runny. I always buy mine in bulk from Jif or Kraft.

    Smaller cookies means shortening the baking time to 8-10 minutes and keeping a constant eye while baking.

    Spreading problem? Your baking soda isn’t fresh enough. During the next batch, slightly flatten the cookie balls. If they’re spreading to much, place into the refrigerator for an hour.
