My Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe is two classics, married into one. You will enjoy this sweet and savory combination. Great for the baking season coming up and cookie exchanges.
I have also included a substituent for the peanut butter for those with allergy concerns.
SunButter is a great option that crosses nearly perfectly over as a substitute for peanut butter in recipes without changes to the amount used.
These cookies are great any time of year, but are perfect for Christmas cookie exchanges or leaving out for Santa.
There is a warmth to these desserts. Our kids love cookies as a special treat. I think their ears are tuned into the cookie jar “cling”.

What ingredient makes a cookie soft and chewy?
White sugar tends to make cookies crispier while brown sugar contains more moisture for a softer and chewy cookie. Most chocolate chip cookie recipes call for both sugars.
Why are my peanut butter cookies dry?
Don’t add more flour if your dough feels wet. This can cause for a crumbling cookie. Try chilling the dough before adding anything to make it easier to work with.
