Peanut Butter Chip Cookies
These soft and chewy Peanut Butter Chip Cookies are packed with double the peanut butter. An easy from scratch recipe using peanut butter chips.
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ cup peanut butter
- 10 ounces peanut butter chips
I always use Kosher salt in my kitchen! If using table salt, start with half the amount and adjust to taste, as it is much "saltier" by volume.
Instructions
- Preheat an oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix until fully incorporated.
- Stir in the peanut butter and mix until well combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Now add in the peanut butter chips (reserving a few for topping the cookies if desired) and fold in until fully incorporated.
- Using a one-ounce cookie scoop, portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Press down gently with your hand to slightly flatten them out. Add a few of the peanut butter chips on top if desired.
- Bake for 12 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly browned. Enjoy!

Notes
- Adding the peanut butter chips does make these cookies a lot sweeter. If you like, just use about half of the bag.
- The cookies are ready when the edges are lightly browned and set, while the centers remain slightly puffed and underdone. They will continue to bake on the cookie sheet as they cool, giving you that perfect soft and chewy texture.
