It’s my birthday weekend! Woohoo! Since this weekend is all about indulging in my favorite treats I wanted to share the Best Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies with you. I have been making these for years now and they never get old. They’re obviously Kirby’s favorite as well because he’s pretty obsessed with anything peanut butter. These babies are super soft, delicious with milk and packed with yummy peanut flavor. The chocolate chips help too.
I think the best thing about these cookies is the fact that they take no time at all. Super easy to mix up and really easy to form because of all the peanut butter. No, these are definitely not healthy, but my birthday is meant to be healthy right? I was extra pumped to make this batch because I was able to use the brand new huge pan Kirby got me for Valentine’s Day! Baking is my favorite and that man knows the way to my heart.
Since these make about 20-25 small cookies we always eat a few straight out of the oven and then bring the rest to the office the next day. That way I don’t eat them all because I so would. If you’re searching for more delicious treats check out my Christmas Sugar Donuts (easily could be made into non-holiday inspired) and the Softest Ever Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies.
Enjoy babes!

- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat together the butter, peanut butter, and brown sugar on medium high speed until pale in color and creamy, 4-5 minutes (don't skimp on time!). Scrape down the bowl as necessary. Mix in the vanilla extract and egg.
- In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to the stand mixer and mix on medium low speed until combined.
- Add the chocolate chips and mix on low until just combined. The mixture may be a little crumbly, but should form into rounds when pressed together with your hands.
- Scoop into 1/4 cup rounds (1 1/2 tablespoon rounds for regular sized cookies) and place on prepared sheet pan. Bake until cookies just begin to turn brown, 12-15 minutes (8-10 minutes for regular sized cookies). Do not over bake.
- Let cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then place on a wire rack to cool completely. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
Make sure to really cream the butter, brown sugar and peanut butter for the full 4-5 minutes or dough will be crumbly.
