I am so excited that in a little over a week, I will be attending Mixed Conference. I can’t wait to learn more tips for baking as well as interact with the fabulous people (and brands) that will be in attendance. One of the big sponsors is OXO. As such, they are encouraging everyone to post their favorite cookie recipe to correspond with their OXO Good Cookies initiative. I’m sharing my mom’s peanut butter chocolate chip cookie recipe!
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
When I think of Christmas baking, I think of baking cookies with my mom. We used to always bake sugar cookies and my favorite, peanut butter cookies on Christmas Eve. I decided to spice things up a little for this post and add a little chocolate. So, I’m sharing with you our Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe, which contains lots of peanut butter and a good amount of chocolate chips too!
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 1/4 cups flour
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Combine the peanut butter and butter. Then, add in the sugars, baking soda, and salt, mixing until combined.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla. Then, add the flour a little at a time. Mix together and then add the chocolate chips.
- Form the dough into balls and place onto a cookie sheet. You can flatten the cookies and create a crisscross pattern using a fork (my mom always did). Dip the fork into sugar in between cookies.
- Bake for 8 to 12 minutes, depending on how big the cookies are.
- Remove cookies from oven and cool.
This recipe makes between 2-3 dozen cookies. I tend to make big cookies which means less cookies and more baking time. However, some people like my mom make them smaller and they require less baking time. As with any recipe, I recommend keeping an eye on the first batch of cookies to ensure they don’t burn.
So, there you have it. My Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe. What do you think of them? Please let me know if you decide to make them.
