You get soft, chewy peanut butter chocolate chip cookies that taste like they came from a bakery. This easy recipe uses simple pantry staples for a classic American cookie.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until the mixture is creamy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the baking soda, salt, and flour.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in the chocolate chips by hand.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. For a classic look, press a fork gently across the top of each dough ball in a crisscross pattern.
  8. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are set and slightly golden. The centers should still look slightly soft.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For the chewiest cookies, slightly underbake them. They will firm up as they cool.
  • If you prefer a richer flavor, use a mix of creamy and crunchy peanut butter.
  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking if your kitchen is warm; this helps prevent spreading.
