Chocolaty Peanut Butter Cookies

Teresa Ambra

Chocolaty Peanut Butter Cookies are first rate. These luscious Peanut Butter Cookies are double loaded with miniature chocolate chips. Plus they have that peanut butter flavor everyone loves. Every bite will rock your world! Seriously, you’ll love these cookies.

John and I went out to lunch after church back in April with some friends. They brought along another couple who had just moved here and was working at the same company my husband used to work. For over two decades, John liked giving out cookies to folks he worked with. So I brought along cookies for the three other couples present. Those included Mimi’s Potato Chip Cookies, Snickers Surprises and these lovely jewels. We gave these cookies to Mario and made him promise us that he would let his wife have some! He texted us after we’d left saying he had his first one on his drive home and gave it two thumbs up.

John has been my taste-tester since I started this blog ten years ago. (Actually since we were first married and I tried out recipes on him). I know he will give me honest feedback and not fudge an answer. Granted, there are some kinds of foods (like avocados) that he despises and will just not eat. But for the most part he can evaluate pretty well if something is great or just so-so. Ice cream and cookies are John’s two indulgences. He’s pretty careful about what he eats these days, but he will allow himself a small scoop of ice cream and a cookie now and then.

He loved these cookies. Truly there’s not much to dislike about them. These cookies have body because I measure them out with a large cookie scoop. Blending the chocolate with the peanut butter has always been a happy place with him (especially in Snickers Bars!) All in all, these are superior cookies that are great for tailgating or office parties, potlucks, backyard BBQs, family get-togethers, soccer practice or holiday baking.

I assure you, everyone will want at least one (if not two, or three, or four) of these Chocolaty Peanut Butter Cookies. But you better hurry. Grab one quickly or you may find yourself losing out to everyone else! 🙂

Scoop cookie dough with a large cookie scoop. I usually pack the dough into the scoop so the ingredients adhere well together.

Bake at 350 degrees about 15 minutes or until done. Rotate cookie sheets on racks every six to seven minutes of baking time. My cookies took longer. Because I was baking two racks at a time, they took almost 25 minutes to bake completely! 🙂

  • measuring spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup salted butter softened (2 sticks)
  • 1 cup crunchy peanut butter
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 tsp. real vanilla extract no substitutes
  • 2 1/2 cups UNBLEACHED all-purpose flour (Bleached flour toughens baked goods)
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. sea salt
  • 24 oz. bag miniature chocolate chips (two 12-ounce bags)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Cream butter, peanut butter, sugars, eggs, baking soda, baking powder, salt and vanilla in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy.
  • Add flour and miniature chocolate chips.
  • Stir until thoroughly combined; this may take 4-5 minutes.

Notes

NOTE: When I was baking two racks at a time, my cookies took 25-26 minutes to bake. Smaller cookies won’t take so long to bake.
 
NOTE: Stir ingredients really well. These are not muffins! The cookie dough needs to be stirred until every morsel is no longer floury-looking.
