Like two treats in one, our peanut butter chocolate chip cookies come together quickly and store easily. They&#8217;re perfect for bake sales and gifting, or simply for anytime snacking.<\/p>\n<h2>Chewy Cookies vs. Crispy Cookies<\/h2>\n<p>Are you Team Crispy or Team Chewy when it comes to cookies? Many factors go into what makes a cookie chewy or crispy, from the type of butter or fat you use to the bake time and temp. And, in many cases, it also comes down to the type of sugar you choose.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/the-best-cookie-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/the-best-cookie-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Cookie recipes<\/a> that call for a higher amount of granulated sugar, which has a lower moisture content, typically yield a crisp cookie. Softer, chewier cookies result when there is a higher ratio of brown sugar, which has a higher moisture content, thanks to molasses.<\/p>\n<p>These peanut butter chocolate chip cookies have a near-equal amount of both sugars, which creates an ideal balance of crispy edges with a chewy center.

When butter is too soft, it could make the dough spread out too much in the oven, resulting in a flatter cookie. Make sure your butter is soft but still slightly cool.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sugar:<\/strong> You\u2019ll use granulated sugar and brown sugar for this recipe. The brown sugar lends extra flavor, and its moisture makes the cookies softer. There is a difference between <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/light-and-dark-brown-sugar\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/light-and-dark-brown-sugar\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">light and dark brown sugar<\/a>\u2014use light brown sugar here.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Peanut butter:<\/strong> We call for crunchy peanut butter in this recipe, which adds a great texture. If you usually eat natural-style peanut butter, save it for sandwiches. Commercial brands like Jif or Skippy are better for these cookies. They\u2019re smoother and less oily but still have tons of peanut-y flavor. You can opt for smooth peanut butter if that suits your taste better.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eggs:<\/strong> Room-temperature eggs mix up better in cookie dough.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vanilla:<\/strong> Choose a good-quality vanilla for these cookies. Here are our Test Kitchen\u2019s picks for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-vanilla-extract\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-vanilla-extract\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">best vanilla extract<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Oats:<\/strong> With the addition of oats, maybe our recipe is more like three cookies in one! We like the texture that old-fashioned rolled oats bring to this cookie.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chocolate chips:<\/strong> As with classic chocolate chip recipes, we use semisweet chocolate chips here because they add just enough sweetness to a cookie. You can also use chocolate chunks, or go for bittersweet or dark chocolate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Make the cookie dough<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1963648\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Peanut-Butter-Chocolate-Chip-Cookies_THVS23_4585_MR_11_02_23_PeanutButterChocolateChipCookies_2_YVedit-scaled.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Beating the sugar and butter in a bowl with hand mixer\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F.

Store baked cookies in an airtight container or resealable freezer bag at room temperature for two to three days. Pro tip: You can even add a slice of white bread to the bag or container. The moisture in the bread creates a humid environment, which in turn slows down moisture loss in the cookies, keeping them softer for longer.<\/p>\n<h2>Can you freeze peanut butter chocolate chip cookies?<\/h2>\n<p>Baked peanut butter chocolate chip cookies can be frozen in an airtight bag or container for three to four weeks (be sure to let them cool first!). Alternatively, you can shape the dough into balls, freeze them individually on a baking sheet, then store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two or three months. You can bake the dough from frozen, but you may need to add a few more minutes of bake time as needed.<\/p>\n<h2>Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1963645\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Peanut-Butter-Chocolate-Chip-Cookies_THVP23_4585_MR_11_02_23_PeanutButterChocolateChipCookies_1_YVedit.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies stored in a glass jar and served on plate with glasses of milk on the side\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Do you have to flatten peanut butter chocolate chip cookies?<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s helpful to pat peanut butter chocolate cookies down a bit before baking. The peanut butter and oats create a stiffer cookie dough, so flattening them a touch will help them spread out. You don\u2019t need to put hash marks on top with a fork, like you would with regular peanut butter cookies. A gentle pat with your hand or the back of a spoon will suffice.<\/p>\n<h3>Should you chill peanut butter chocolate chip cookie dough before baking?<\/h3>\n<p>Chilling your peanut butter chocolate chip cookie dough a bit before baking will help keep the cookies from spreading too much. If your dough is really soft, the cookies could spread more in the oven. Chilling it for 20 minutes or so will help stiffen it up.<\/p>\n<h3>Why are the peanut butter cookies dry and crumbly?<\/h3>\n<p>To avoid dry and crumbly peanut butter cookies: choose the right kind of peanut butter; stick to the measurements (too much peanut butter could result in a drier cookie); and don\u2019t overbake the cookies. Peanut butter chocolate chip cookies are done when the edges are just set and slightly browned, and the middle is a bit soft.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span

This recipe I have used in times past as well! It's a really great recipe to use when cookies are needed for any special occasion! I used quick oats, 1\/2 cup each packed brown sugar & granulated sugar, 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips & 1\/2 cup peanut butter chips to enhance the flavor. I also used 1\/2 tsp. salt & 1 Tbsp. corn syrup when creaming the butter and sugars together!  I used creamy peanut butter instead of chunky and the cookies came out well!  I also greased the baking sheets for easier removal of the cookies. I rate this as an excellent cookie recipe to use ANYTIME!  NOTE:  I baked these cookies again 7\/18\/14.  I'd used this time: 1 cup of multi-colored baking chips (\"Springtime\" Nestle's baking chips in chocolate, pink and yellow).  I baked the cookies 8 minutes! The first batch I had baked 10 minutes, but found them to be more browned than was needed! So I scaled the time to 8 minutes and to me, the time worked out better! These continue to be a 5* rating! delowenstein","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2013-08-20","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"shortytalk"},"reviewBody":"easy to make and taste good....","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2013-10-08","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"lateshift32"},"reviewBody":"these are super good!!!  i would really like to double this next time.  we gave some to our neighbor and actually missed them ; )","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2014-10-20","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"mrs._white"},"reviewBody":"I used chunky peanut butter and it gave them an awesome little crunch.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2015-01-06","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"Queenlalisa"},"reviewBody":"This was a very good cookie.
