Easy Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies give you the best of both worlds: peanut butter cookies combined with chocolate chip cookies! They’re soft, chewy, and loaded with chocolate chunks. Everyone loves them.
In a large bowl, with a stand mixer or hand held mixer, beat the butter, sugars, and peanut butter until mixture is smooth and creamy.
½ cup butter, ½ cup brown sugar, ¼ cup granulated sugar, ⅓ cup creamy peanut butter
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
1 egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and cornstarch.
1¼ cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ¼ teaspoon salt
Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until completely combined.
Add in the chocolate chips and peanut butter chips until just mixed in.
1 cup peanut butter chips, 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Chill the dough for 3 hours or overnight.
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Let the dough sit at room temperature while the oven preheats.
Make dough balls about 1/4 cup in size using a either a 1/4 cup cookie scoop or a 1/4 cup measuring scoop. Place dough balls about two inches apart on a cookie sheet lined with either silicone liner or parchment paper.
Press additional chocolate chips onto the top of cookie dough if desired.
1-2 tablespoons semisweet chocolate chips
