Introduction

These Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies from Heaven are a delightful twist on classic cookies, combining rich peanut butter with sweet chocolate chips. Soft and chewy with a subtle crunch, they’re perfect for any occasion or a simple homemade treat.

Three thick, round chocolate chip cookies with a light golden brown color and a soft, slightly crinkled texture are stacked closely together on a white plate that has a blue and green floral design around the rim. The chocolate chips are large and dark, scattered unevenly on the surface and partly embedded within each cookie. The plate sits on a white marbled texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 ½ cups packed brown sugar
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup peanut butter
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking soda
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
Step 2: In a large bowl, cream together the brown sugar and softened butter until smooth and fluffy.
Step 3: Beat in the peanut butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until everything is well combined.
Step 4: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, salt, and baking powder.
Step 5: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Step 6: Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
Step 7: Drop 1 ½ teaspoonfuls of dough onto ungreased cookie sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8: Flatten each cookie slightly, as the dough does not spread much during baking.
Step 9: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, until edges are set but centers remain soft.
Step 10: Allow cookies to cool on the cookie sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips & Variations

For extra chewiness, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
Try substituting half the peanut butter with almond butter for a different nutty flavor.
Add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for added crunch.
Use dark chocolate chips instead of semisweet for a richer taste.
If you prefer crispier cookies, bake for 1–2 minutes longer, watching carefully.

Storage

Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. For longer storage, freeze the cookies in a sealed bag for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving. Reheat in a microwave for 10–15 seconds to enjoy them warm and melty.

How to Serve

FAQs

Can I use natural peanut butter instead of regular peanut butter?

Yes, you can use natural peanut butter, but the texture may be slightly different since natural peanut butter is thinner. It might affect the consistency of the dough slightly, so you may need to chill it before baking.
