Soft peanut butter cookies studded with chocolate chips are ready to make with ingredeints you probably already have in your cupboards. A perfect nutty and chocolate-filled dessert.
If you can’t decide whether you’re in a peanut butter or chocolate chip cookie mood, just combine them and call it a day.
I can’t believe when I go to the store I can’t find a peanut butter chocolate chip cookie. Chocolate and peanut butter is the greatest combination in all the land! If you find yourself in the same predicament, fear not. This recipe is super easy and made in one bowl. Most of my cookies are. Once the butter, sugar, etc is all combined I just add all the dry on top and fluff it around a bit then turn the stand mixer on. This process has never steered me wrong and cuts down on clean up. Win! 
I made these cookies on my birthday when I was fogged in and working at home. I found myself home alone with the dogs for most of the day while the kids were at school so I whipped these up as a pre swim lesson snack. There is nothing quite like coming home from a long day at school to homemade baking!

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of peanut butter should I use for the cookies?
You can use either creamy or chunky peanut butter, depending on your texture preference. Just ensure it’s a standard variety and not a natural one, as the consistency may affect the cookie’s texture.
How do I properly mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients?
After combining the butter and sugar, simply add the dry ingredients on top and fluff them around a bit before turning on the stand mixer to ensure an even blend without overmixing.
Can I add extra chocolate chips to the recipe?
Yes, feel free to increase the amount of chocolate chips beyond the original measurement for a more chocolatey cookie. Just make sure it doesn’t disrupt the cookie dough’s consistency.
