These chewy cookies combine creamy peanut butter and melty chocolate chips for a soft, satisfying treat that’s quick and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (250 g) creamy peanut butter (unsweetened or natural preferred)
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (110 g) packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 1 cup (175 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Optional: chopped peanuts or peanut butter chips
  • Optional: a dash of cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup peanut butter, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup packed brown sugar until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and any optional mix-ins like chopped peanuts or peanut butter chips.
  7. Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are set but centers look slightly soft. They will firm up as they cool.
  9. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overmix after adding flour to keep cookies tender. Chilling dough for 15-20 minutes before baking helps control spreading and keeps cookies thick and chewy. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days or freeze for longer storage. Reheat briefly to restore softness.
