These are the best Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies ever. Thick and chewy and loaded with chocolate, they’re an easy one bowl recipe with no need to chill the dough.
Calling all peanut butter fans!
Lip smacking soft and gooey Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies are on the menu.
These chunky morsels will leave you wanting more with their buttery dough overloaded with melty chocolate. Best of all, they are an easy one-bowl recipe with no need to chill the dough.
I have a confession. I only really discovered the wonder of peanut butter in the last couple of years. Not really one for a slice of bread with spread, I liked peanut butter but I never really had much use for it.
However, once I realised that peanut butter was a heavenly match for desserts, I soon scrambled onboard the peanut butter bandwagon. One slice of my Loaded Oreo Peanut Butter Bars or one of my chunky Peanut Butter and Jelly Chocolate Cups and you’ll realise what all the peanut butter fuss is about.
The perfect accompaniment to a cold glass of milk, these cookies make the most of the wonderful combo, that is chocolate and peanut butter. I love my cookies soft, with a gooey centre and a buttery crust and plenty of chocolate chips.
This recipe has it all. I love to add loads of chocolate chunks in my cookies, dark chocolate to pair with the sweet pb cookie but you can add milk chocolate or even white chocolate – whatever you prefer.

Love that!
Such an amazing recipe! I made this today for the 2nd time and it turns out great! I usually let the raw cookie dough to set in the fridge for 24-48 hours to let the flavours intensify. I substituted SR flour and Baking powder for the plain flour and baking soda and it turned out amazing still! I didn’t have brown sugar so I used white sugar and creamed it with salted butter which tasted AMAZING. Absolutely recommend this recipe! Delicious! 😋😋😋

Awesome! Thanks Andrew!
My partner and all his workmates love these cookies! There is a huge shortage of flour in the shops at the moment and i only have self-raising in the cupboard. Can I use that instead of plain flour and baking soda? Thanks for this recipe!

Hi Ruth, so glad you love these cookies! I hear you about the flour shortage! I haven’t tried these with sr flour but I think it would work ok – if you try it, let me know how you go!
Excellent!

Not sure if I went wrong somewhere (thought I followed the recipe exactly) but these were a bit too dry for my liking.

Hi Emily, if the cookies were a bit dry, you may have over measured the flour. I recommend always weighing the flour instead of using cups for accuracy. The other reason could be because of over baking. Maybe double check your oven temp, as most ovens tend to run hot. And the third reason, could be because of the brand/type of peanut butter you use. Thanks for trying one of my recipes!
Made these tonight, easy and delicious
So glad you enjoyed them Lisa!
