    Enjoy this easy and tasty recipe for peanut butter chocolate chip cookies that you can bake for your family, a bake sale, or just something yummy to bring to the party.

    My family loves the combination of peanut butter and chocolate. In fact, I have several recipes that include this winning combination. (see a list below)

    I wondered if I could substitute peanut butter for some of the butter in a standard chocolate chip cookie recipe. As it turned out; Yes, you can.

    Making Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

    Creamy peanut butter in a measuring cup.

    I used just half a cup of creamy peanut butter and one stick (1/2 cup) of softened butter for this recipe.

    Flour in a sifter over a mixing bowl.

    Baking Tip: It's always a good idea to sift your dry ingredients together. This is typically flour, baking soda, and/or baking powder and salt.

    White and brown sugar mixed with butters in a bowl with a hand mixer.

    Just like you would for most cookie recipes you would cream the butter and sugars together on medium speed using a hand mixer. You could use a stand mixer too. Then add eggs and vanilla.

    Adding dry flour ingredients to wet sugar, butter and egg mixture.

    The dry ingredients are slowly added about 1/3 at a time.

    Then finish with your chips. Here I like to hand mix them into the cookie dough. Also, I used Ghirardelli bittersweet chocolate chips with 60% cacao which are a little larger than the average chocolate chip but you can use any kind you like. Regular semi-sweet, milk chocolate, mini chocolate chips, whatever you prefer.

    Cookie cooling on a baking rack.

    Baking Tip: Baking in the oven, moving the cookie sheets halfway, (top sheet to bottom shelf and bottom to top), to make sure they cook evenly. This is something my mother taught me years ago and I continue to do it and it seems to make a difference.

    They were really good and I'm not sure if I'll make them without peanut butter again.
