    What's in Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies?

    Other than the obvious peanut butter and chocolate chips, you will need some more ingredients to make these perfect cookies.

    • Salted butter, softened. I almost always use salted butter, you can use unsalted and add an extra ½ teaspoon to the dough.
    • Creamy peanut butter. If you want some extra texture and crunch in your cookies, use crunchy. It is so good as well!
    • White sugar
    • Packed light brown sugar
    • Large eggs
    • Pure vanilla extract
    • Baking soda
    • Salt
    • Unbleached all purpose flour
    • Whole wheat flour
    • Semi-sweet chocolate chips

    Do I have to use whole wheat flour?

    Here's the deal with whole wheat flour, it's good! Don't be scared to use it. If you don't want to go out and buy any, you can most definitely substitute with all purpose flour and skip the whole wheat. Whole wheat flour gives a slight nutty flavor and is a tad healthier for you. Which means, you don't need to feel guilty when eating an entire pan of cookies, am I right? 😆

    How to Make the Perfect Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

    First and for most, get all the ingredients gathered along with your stand mixer or hand beater and your other baking tools. When you have everything ready ahead of time, making it goes so much smoother and there is less room for error.

    To make the cookie dough, first cream together the butter and sugars until fluffy. Then add in the peanut butter and vanilla and beat until smooth. Next, add the eggs one at a time beating well after each egg.

    Now add the dry ingredients, baking soda, salt and both flours. Mix on low just until it is all incorporated. Finally, fold in the chocolate chips.

    To bake the cookies, using a medium sized cookie scoop or heaping and rounded tablespoon and place cookie dough 2 inches apart on parchment lined baking sheets. Bake the cookies in a 350° preheated oven for 10-12 minutes and until the edges are starting to turn golden brown. Let the cookies cool for 3 minutes on the pan and then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.

    The best and perfect peanut butter chocolate chip cookies are now ready to eat! You're welcome! 😉
