    chocolate peanut butter cookies

    Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies - My soft and chewy chocolate peanut butter cookies add a delicious twist to the classic peanut butter cookie.

    JUMP TO RECIPE

    Ingredients you need for this recipe:

    • Peanut Butter - I used crunchy peanut butter in this recipe. You can definitely use a smooth peanut butter too.
    • White Sugar - Regular white granulated sugar is what I used. You can also use an organic cane sugar.
    • All-Purpose Flour - Pre-sifted flour is best for this recipe.
    • Butter - I always use unsalted butter. Salted butter is good too, just half the salt in this recipe.
    • Egg - For structure, moisture and richness in your cookie. 
    • Salt - I use sea salt in almost all my baking recipes. If you only have regular kosher salt or iodized, that’s fine too.
    • Baking Soda - This is key to help your cookie rise while baking and will also give the cookie that golden goodness everyone loves.
    • Cocoa Powder - A good quality cocoa powder is best. But, you can use whatever you have on hand!

    Tools to have on hand when making these cookies:

    • stand mixer or hand mixer
    • baking sheet
    • cooling rack
    • measuring cups and spoons
    • parchment paper

    How to make Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies:

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

    In a bowl, mix together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

    In the bowl of your stand mixer, cream together sugar, butter and peanut butter. Mix over medium speed until smooth. Beat in egg.

    Add flour mixture to the wet ingredients and beat until smooth.

    Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Gently press dough down with a fork. Sprinkle top with sugar.

    Bake for 10 -11 minutes.

    Transfer cookies to a cooling rack to let cool.

    How to bake cookies ahead of time and how to properly store raw cookie dough:

    For a short storage time: These cookies will last in an airtight bag or container on the counter for 5-7 days.

    For a longer storage time: You can store raw cookie dough or baked (cooled) cookies in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months. When you are ready to use the dough, remove from freezer and let come to room temperature. Then, simply follow baking instructions according to recipe.
