Delicious Peanut Butter Chip Cookies Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
44
  • 1 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
  • 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup peanut butter chips
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (optional)
  • 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon milk (optional, for consistency)
  • 1 cup oats (optional for texture)

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine peanut butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

    Use an electric mixer for best results.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.

    Sifting the flour can help prevent clumps.
  4. Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.

    Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  5. Add Chips and Nuts

    Fold in the peanut butter chips, and any optional chocolate chips or nuts.

    Reserve some chips for topping.
  6. Scoop Dough

    Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

    Leave space between each cookie as they will spread.
  7. Bake Cookies

    Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.

    Cookies will firm up as they cool.
  8. Cool and Serve

    Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

    Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container.
