PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies image

I love these rich, very sweet, addictive cookies. I adapted this recipe from one I found and loved on allrecipes.com. I have altered it somewhat to suit my tastes and my preferred baking techniques but this is based on the recipe known there as Aunt Cora's World's Best Cookies. Cook time is per batch, cooking one sheet at a time.

Categories     Drop Cookies

Time 30m

Yield 36-48 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup sweet unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup sweet creamy peanut butter (do not use reduced fat versions - I use Jiff or Peter Pan brands)
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar or 1 cup light muscovado sugar, packed
2 large eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Have ready at least 2 baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
  • Cream butter until smooth.
  • Add peanut butter and both sugars and beat until combined well.
  • Add egg and beat well.
  • Stir in flour and baking soda gradually until well combined.
  • Stir in chocolate chips by hand.
  • Using a meatball scooper or a spoon, scoop out small portions of dough and drop onto parchment lined cookie sheets, leaving 2" gap between each cookie.
  • Bake for about 15 minutes or until cookies are just firm around the edges- don't overbake- if you wait until they are brown on top, they will be too hard.
  • Slide parchment sheet, cookies and all, carefully off pan and onto your counter, set a new piece of parchment paper onto your baking sheet and repeat until all dough is baked.
  • Meanwhile, as the next batch bakes, remove baked cookies from the parchment and let cool completely on wire racks.
  • Wipe off the crumbs from the old sheet of parchment and you can reuse it for your next batch.
  • These will keep about 3 days stored in a cookie tin (for crisp cookies) or an airtight plastic container (for softer cookies).

CHEWY PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Chewy Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies image

Provided by Beeta @ Mon Petit Four

Categories     Dessert

Time 29m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated white sugar
1/4 cup Karo® Corn Syrup (light)
1/2 cup peanut butter, if you use the natural kind, make sure it's no stir*
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 ¼ cup semisweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with a sheet of parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  • Beat the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together until creamy and fluffy.
  • Add the light corn syrup, peanut butter, eggs, and vanilla. Beat on medium speed until combined and smooth - about 15 seconds.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, salt, and baking soda together until blended well. Add the dry ingredients into your bowl of wet ingredients. Mix to combine.
  • Once a dough has formed, stir in the chocolate chips. Use a tablespoon measurement or an ice cream scooper to scoop out two tablespoons worth of dough into the palm of your hand. Roll the dough into a ball and place onto your prepared baking sheet. Repeat so that you have 8 balls of dough spread out on your baking sheet.
  • For plump cookies, place the baking sheet with the cookie dough balls in the freezer for 5 minutes. For slightly thinner cookies, bake straight away. Bake the cookies for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the tops are just starting to get the very slightest hint of a golden appearance.
  • Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack or serving plate.

PEANUT BUTTER



Peanut Butter image

These Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies are so easy to make! Soft, chewy, and super peanut buttery. Healthier than most traditional recipes!

Provided by Tiffany

Categories     Dessert

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 Tbsp butter, melted
½ cup peanut butter
1/3 cup granulated sugar (I recommend coconut sugar)
1 tsp molasses
1 egg
1 egg yolk
1 tsp vanilla
1 ½ cups whole grain flour (I recommend einkorn)
¾ cup dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt (optional)**

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350F and line a large baking sheet with a silpat mat.
  • In a large bowl with a hand mixer, or in the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle blade, beat together 4 Tbsp melted butter, 1/2 cup peanut butter and 1/3 cup sugar for 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and the beater/blade.
  • Add 1 tsp molasses, 1 egg, 1 egg yolk, and 1 tsp vanilla and beat until everything is well incorporated, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and the beater/blade.
  • Add 1 1/2 cups flour, 3/4 cup chocolate chips, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp baking powder and 1/2 tsp salt (if using) and mix on low JUST until combined. The batter will be crumbly.
  • Using a cookie scoop, scoop two scoops of dough per cookie onto the baking sheet. Leave about 2-3" of space between each cookie. (If you're using these USA baking pans and these silpat mats, you'll get 12 cookies per pan.)
  • When you've scooped all the cookies, working with one at a time, PRESS (not roll) the double scoop of dough into a ball using the palm of your hands. Press the roll slightly into a disc and place it back onto the baking pan. Repeat the process for all the cookies.
  • Bake the cookies for 10 minutes and allow to cool on the baking pan for 10 minutes before placing them on a cooling rack to cool completely.

Categories     dessert

Time 2h30m

Yield about 36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs, room temperature
One 12-ounce bag semisweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Whisk the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda in a large bowl. Beat in the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar with in a second large bowl with a handheld electric mixer on medium-high speed, 1 minute. Beat in the peanut butter and vanilla until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition, until the mixture thickens slightly. Reduce the speed to medium, add the flour mixture and beat until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips. Cover and let rest at room temperature for 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, position racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Line three rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • Scoop heaping 2-tablespoon balls of dough and arrange the balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake until golden but still soft in the center, 10 to 12 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through. Let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • The cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate chips. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your cookies. Look for chocolate chips that are made with real chocolate, not compound chocolate.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at the right temperature. The ideal temperature for baking peanut butter chocolate chip cookies is 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
  • Don't overbake the cookies. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly. Bake the cookies for just until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.

Conclusion:

Peanut butter chocolate chip cookies are a classic American dessert that is loved by people of all ages. They are soft, chewy, and packed with flavor. With a few simple tips, you can make peanut butter chocolate chip cookies that are perfect for any occasion.
