Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies Ingredients
Before we get to the recipe, let’s discuss ingredients. To make these homemade chocolate chip peanut butter cookies, you will need:
- Peanut butter: For best results, use a standard commercial brand of creamy peanut butter. Avoid natural peanut butters where the oil separates. The dough won’t come together nicely if you don’t use commercial peanut butter with an added oil.
- Chocolate chips: I always use semi-sweet chocolate chips, but you can use milk chocolate chips if you prefer.
- Sugar: I like to use granulated white sugar to make this recipe, but you can use brown sugar instead. The molasses in brown sugar will yield more moist and chewy cookies. For an unrefined sugar option, you can use organic coconut sugar.
- An egg: This gives moisture, structure, protein, and chewiness to the cookies. Use one large egg at room temperature for best results.
How to Make Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
To make this easy peanut butter chocolate chip cookie recipe, simply:
- Make the dough: Mix together your peanut butter, sugar, and an egg in a medium bowl. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Shape into balls: Roll the dough into balls and place on a lined baking sheet.
- Place in oven: Bake for about 10 minutes until set, allow to cool off, then serve!

Absolute evergreen, wisely upgraded to make without flour. Great one !
Aww thank you so much!! 🙂
will NATURAL crunchy peanut butter work?
Hi Monica, yes you can, but the dough won’t come out as nicely as it would if you were to use a standard commercial brand of creamy peanut butter. I find that using a natural peanut butter produces cookies with a slightly denser texture as well. You might also need to bake your cookies a little longer, maybe an extra minute or two. Hope that helps!
