Chewy Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Cookies
Chocolate and peanut butter. Peanut butter and chocolate. Why do they go so well together?? It’s like a match made in heaven, these two! If something is peanut butter and chocolate, there is a 95% chance that I’m gonna love it. Such is true with these chewy chocolate peanut butter chip cookies!
These cookies are like the beautiful offspring of a chewy homemade brownie and a soft bakery cookie. They are dangerous. Super chocolatey with that old-fashioned cocoa taste and just the right amount of sweet peanut butter. You’re totally gonna crave a tall glass of ice-cold water or milk, and oh yeah, one cookie is NEVER enough. Don’t even think you are just gonna “taste one” not happening.
I’m down 5 lbs so far merely by cutting back on my sugar intake; however, I was helpless to these chocolate peanut butter chip cookies. I ate one after the other as soon as they came out of the oven and about 4 more once they’d cooled down. And I just HAD to eat another one for photo’s sake and another to know how to fully explain them for this blog post. So…I’m just gonna like…. blame you guys for my brutal attack on these cookies, mmkay? Oh, come oooon, take one for the team. Just kidding!
It seems like these cookies were even better the next day. I kept them in the fridge, and they were still chewy and soft.
I don’t usually add chocolate chips to this recipe, but I must admit, I enjoyed the semi-sweet chocolate morsels in there. Peanut butter chips are delicious, and I’d been trying to think of something to do with them for about a week now. What a great way to use them up! Totally worth any cellulite I may have added.
My hubby and son love Reese cups, so I knew chocolate peanut butter chip cookies wouldn’t last long, which means I wouldn’t have to be tempted for days. Isaac kept saying, “ahhhh man, I wish I could just have one more!” lol I know his pain. Cookies are such a weakness for all of us.
Watch me make these chewy chocolate peanut butter chip cookies from start to finish!

Great blog by the way, I really enjoy how you
Talk in your youtube videos. So much sass so it doesn’t get draggy ????????
I made these for the holidays and they were very good indeed!
One tip I might add is that while my first batch came out just right the second batch seemed to come out a little TOO underdone;
I found that by allowing them to cool in the fridge (instead of on the counter as I did the first batch) they set up just right after about 30 minutes and had just the right amount of chewiness.
Thanks for the recipe!
I made these cookies on Sunday and they were delicious. I did make the mistake of adding all of the peanut butter chips in the batter, but they were still good and my co-workers thought so too.
Made these tonight with special dark cocoa and dark chocolate chips. They were beautiful and fluffy and a HUGE success. Thank you! ????????????????
