For fans of chocolate and peanut butter, Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Cookies are the stuff dreams are made of. A rich chocolatey cookie with sweet peanut butter chips is easy to make and sure to satisfy any sweet tooth!
If ever two foods were made for each other, it’s chocolate and peanut butter. I’m an unashamed nut for this combo and love finding new ways to enjoy it, from my all-time favorite Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies to decadent Chocolate Peanut Butter Bundt Cake.
I don’t think I’ve ever met a chocolate and peanut butter dessert I didn’t like.
Chocolate Cookies with Peanut Butter Chips deliver just the right balance of sweet chocolate-y goodness with the nutty flavor of peanut butter.
I knew I’d like the flavors but I was surprised by just how perfect the smooth silky texture of the peanut butter chips paired with the chocolate cookie.
I used both peanut butter chips and semi-sweet chocolate chips in this recipe. If you want more peanut butter flavor, feel free to replace the chocolate chips with more peanut butter chips instead.
Mini-peanut butter cups would also be amazing in this cookie recipe, I think. Then again, I’d probably put peanut butter cups in just about everything if I could! However you make Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Cookies, they’re sure to be a hit.
I’ll be including these cookies on my holiday cookie trays this year for friends and family, and I might have to make a batch or two to keep all to myself, too. This recipe makes about 3 dozen standard sized cookies so there will be plenty to share!
Pour yourself an ice cold glass of milk and get ready to be blown away by these easy-to-make treat

How To Make Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Cookies
1. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
2. In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the butter and sugar. Beat together on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes. Blend in the eggs one at a time, scraping down the bowl as needed. Mix in the cocoa powder until well blended.
3. Add the flour, salt and baking powder to the bowl and mix on low speed just until incorporated. Fold in the peanut butter and chocolate chips with a spatula.
4. Dough may be thick, stir until just combined.
5. Using a standard size cookie scoop, scoop cookie dough onto cookie sheets. To make 36 cookies, 12 cookies should fit onto each sheet.
6. Bake for approx 10 minutes. Let cool for 5-10 minutes on cookie sheets, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container. Enjoy!
