Thick Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies, the best Peanut Butter Cookies you will make or eat. Made with loads of chocolate chips and deliciously thick.
Thick Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
I love cookies, haha you are probably saying “what doesn’t this woman love to eat”? Well, not much I have to admit. Ok maybe lima beans. But cookies, pretty well all of them.
But especially this one! My favourite don’t-make-too-many-because-I-will-eat-them-all Thick Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies. And I mean thick! Don’t you just love thick cookies?
Never mind those skinny mini ones give me these incredible Peanut Butter Cookies, stuffed with mini Chocolate Chips.
My mother besides making the most amazing Christmas cookies, she would make the best peanut butter cookies and her Thick Chocolate Chip Cookies came right up behind these cookies.
I just decided to add a few chocolate chips to make it even more yummy.
I think one of the happiest days of my life in this country was when I found peanut butter at my local grocery store and the 2nd was when I found barbecue sauce, now every store I go into has these and a lot of other products.
One thing about these cookies, besides the fact that they are absolutely irresistible, the dough has to be refrigerated for at least 8 hours.
Thick Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
My suggestion, make them the night before and let the dough chill over night. No one’s going to know you are having these Thick Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies for breakfast unless you tell them, and I won’t talk.
I made these last weekend for a get together with friends. Most Italians have never tasted peanut butter, but these cookies were well received and yes they finished my cookies!
So I’m off to bake up another batch. Enjoy alone or with a big glass of milk or cup of tea.

-
Pre-heat oven to 350° (180° celsius).
-
Shape into balls,(approximate golf ball size) and place on lightly greased cookie sheets, flatten with a fork (dip fork lightly in flour so the dough doesn't stick) and bake for approximately 15 minutes. Let cool completely before eating. Enjoy!
When you say make into balls to cook…about what size? My dough is in the fridge as we speak!!!
Hi Jen I made them about the size of gold balls. Hope that helps.
I made this recipe today exactly as specified. These are really good! They are going in this long time cooks book of favorite recipes.
Hi Pat, thanks so glad you enjoyed them.
Is it plain or self raising flour. tia
Hi Diana, plain flour. 🙂
Could I add oatmeal? I am really craving a peanut butter oatmeal chocolate chip cookie. Are there any additions or changes to the recipe I would need to do?
Hi Kelli, apparently you can substitute 1/3 of the flour for oatmeal (either Quick or Old Fashioned Oats), I have never done this so I really can’t say what the taste is, but if you do make it let me know. Or you could make my Oatmeal Chocolate Chip recipe and substitute the chocolate chips for peanut butter chips. Hope that helps.
what temp do you recommend
Hi Leanne, the temperature is 350°F or 180°C (it’s also written in the instructions) 🙂
Hi Rosemary, I just baked these up this morning, and they are delicious! My husband doesn’t eat many sweets, but loves peanut butter and chocolate together. He’s a happy man right now. 🙂 The recipe is so easy, and they bake up perfectly. Thanks!!
Hi Linda, so glad you like them. Have a great day.
I’m looking for a good peanut butter cookie recipe. Would these be good without the chocolate chips or would they be peanut buttery enough? Or would you recommend a different recipe? Thanks!
Hi Rachel, I find them peanut buttery enough and I think they would work without the chips. Half the recipe to see how it works for you. Let me know.
Your cookies look absolutely amazing! I can not wait to try them! My awesome hunky hubby and I will be traveling to Italy (I can barely contain my excitement) this Spring..i had no idea that most Italians have never tasted peanut butter! Thanks for such a yummy recipe. 🙂
Hi Karen, thanks, I hope you and your hunky husband have a great time. Have a great week.
Do you use the natural peanut butter (thinner and runny) or the thicker brands with sugar like skippy?
Hi Linda, I use the thicker brand, actually Skippy is the only brand I have found here.
These look amazing! Peanut butter cookies are magical and I need a better recipe. I do like to add cinnamon to mine . Thanks for all your joy in cooking!
Hi Carol, thanks and I have to say these are delicious, adding cinnamon is very interesting, I will have to try it next time. Have a great weekend.
I added a handful of chopped plain peanuts to this recipe – absolutely divine recipe!!!!
Hi Karen, thanks, great idea adding the peanuts. Have a great Sunday. 🙂
why do you have to chill the dough for at least 8 hours? What happens if you bake right away?
Hi Dixie, cookie dough is refrigerated so that when the cookie is baked it spreads less (and that is why we want these nice and thick) and apparently the taste is more flavourful. Thanks, have a wonderful Sunday.
you had me at peanut butter… super recipe… love the combination and that these cookies are like 2 inches thick… Perfect!!
Thanks Heather they are really good.
I haven’t eaten peanut butter cookies in a long time but chocolate chip cookies are my favorites! I raid my pantry when I’m working on my blog and this marriage of PB & choc chip is a winner!
Thank you Pie, I couldn’t agree more.
Any idea if these can be made gluten-free? These look great!
Hi Sherry, I really have no idea, sorry.
We made our current batch gluten free. We used peanut flour for GF factor and for some protein ???? The dough was really crumbly. I would do regular 1:1 gluten free flour next time and increase the peanut butter, so they stick better.
Thanks for the feedback Katy! 🙂
I want those cookies! I’m not sure I can wait eight hours to eat them though. I will start the process and IF any dough is to be found in the fridge in the morning; they will definitely be breakfast. YUM!! It’s fun to read about your adventures in Italy!
Hi Diane, thanks, eating cookie dough is not a problem for us so I am lucky for that. Trust me wait they are well worth it.
I need a new pb cookie recipe! Looks like I found one! 🙂
Hi Chrissie let me know how you like it.
Okay, so I’d be in trouble with these around — I would have to freeze most of them otherwise how do you not eat them all in one sitting?!
Haha, April that is just what I did. Although frozen cookies aren’t that bad either!
Peanut butter and chocolate chip is a dangerous, yum combination! I would not be able to stop myself from devouring big bowl of these cookies 🙂
Those cookies look fabulous! Fudgy, soft in the center and crisp on the outside. Can’t wait to try these!
Thanks Richa, hope you enjoy them.
Wow – those are some very thick cookies! I love a good peanut butter cookie; there’s just something about it that just screams comfort food and grandma. I love the addition of the chocolate chips too, because chocolate and peanut butter work so well together.
Thank Byron, chocolate and peanut butter not much better than that.
Most Hungarians have never eaten peanut butter either, I love the stuff, I could happily sit there with a spoon and a jar and be done with it… I’m not much of a cookie/sweet treat person but will have to give these a go just so our friends get to try peanut butter 😉
Hi Brian, my sister and I used to dip our chocolate in it! 🙂
A classic combination in a delicious cookie! Yum!
Thanks Tracy.
I’m telling you, I’d pick a fresh warm cookie over any dessert 90% of the time! These look heavenly!!
Thanks very much Whitney.
Oh my peanut butter heaven!
Thanks alot Michelle.
Oh man! Those look amazing!!
I realize you get this question a lot but… DO you deliver? 🙂 Fantastic cookies you have here!
Haha, thanks, I would if I could.
I am a sucker for thick rustic style cookies, I mean this is what you want when cravings get you in the middle of the night.
Delicious cookies, pinned.
these practically look like fudge, yummm! ugh need these in my life, pronto.
They look delicious. I love pb anything!
Thanks Melanie, me too!
There’s nothing more comforting than a thick cookie with a hot cuppa joe. these look amazing.
Hi Molly I totally agree.
The peanut butter and chocolate combo….always a winner in my book, and these thick cookies just look amazing…more than amazing actually! 🙂
Thanks so much, have a great weekend.
These look really yummy, and the best cookies are the ones your mom makes!
Hi Rachel, thanks, so true.
Can’t wait to try these – is natural peanut butter ok to use? Thanks!
Hi Laura, I have never baked with Natural peanut butter, but I don’t see why not, give it a try.
Love peanut butter cookies and adding the chocolate chips in makes them a win-win!
Thanks Christopher, they are pretty yummy.
These chocolate chip cooking look so thick and amazing!
Thanks very much Patti.
I’ve been craving peanut butter cookies for weeks now but have not found a recipe that appeals to me. I will bookmark this for sure!
Who doesn’t love peanut butter and chocolate cookies! Looks great!!
I’m really not a chocolate cookie kinda person but these look prefect and I am definitely a peanut butter kinda person 😉
Hi Brian, I love them both especially together :)!
peanut butter cookies? yes please!
Chocolate and peanut butter is what life’s all about! No just kidding, but these cookies look too tasty! I’ve been looking for those chocolate chips here in The Netherlands but I can’t seem to find them anywhere :S Pinned it!
Hi Niels, thanks, I can remember when I couldn’t find chocolate chips here either and I would have to break up chocolate into small pieces.
I love how thick you made this! I have plans to bake with my granddaughter this week, maybe we’ll make these. If not, haha, I’ll make them without her 🙂
These would not last long at my house! My husband and I love peanut butter. I agree, it would be hard to keep the dough in the fridge that long without wanting to eat it 🙂
Scrumptious looking cookies. I’ve printed this recipe out for later. 🙂
Hi Tina Marie, thank you hope you enjoy them, let me know.
Just saying that I love peanut butter cookies doesn’t even come close to my love for them – these look perfect!
Thanks Sarah, hope you enjoy them.
Peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies. I’m not sure I can get through the rest of the day without baking these! They look so tender and chewy. My son would go bananas over these!
Hi Leslie, they are really good, let me know what you think.
These are some really thick cookies! My kind of treat, for sure! My ex was Italian and used to get so upset whenever I used peanut butter. He thought it was for Canadian kids only. 🙂
Can’t go wrong with anything chocolate and peanut butter. These look amazing! Pinning!
Hi Judy, thank you very much, have a great day!
These cookies are beautiful!! Love the shape and the rustic look of them.And pb and chocolate….never gets old.
Thanks very much Noor.
WANT! I love how thick and rugged looking these are – almost as much as I love peanut butter.
Hi Laura, I love thick filled with chocolate cookies too.
YUM! Can’t wait to try these!! Thank you so much for linking up at Tasty Tuesday! This post has been pinned on the Tasty Tuesday Pinterest board! I love having you and can’t wait to see you next week!
oh so pinning! I love how thick they are!
go Italy!! PB & BBQ sauce…. getting global! 🙂
Hi Alice, thanks so much, love thick peanut butter cookies!
Peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies are my FAVORITE! I mean, that’s clearly the best combo ever 🙂
Hi Liz, I totally agree!
Yummmmm- my son loves peanut butter. He’s 11 and and loves learning to cook- this looks like something we’re doing soon
Hi Veronica, let me know how your son enjoys them.
Is it 112g or 1/4 cup butter?
112g =1/2 cup
Thanks
Yes it should be 1/4 cup or 57 grams, sorry about that. Thanks.
Here is the danger — you put them in the fridge to cool and then you have half the dough. I have dough thieves in the house, especially if it has chocolate chips in the dough. I’m glad you found peanut butter. It is so very versatile! This is a great recipe for the grandsons. Thank you Rose — the pictures look great.
Thank goodness nobody in my house likes raw cookie dough, baked is another story! Have a great day Marisa.
These look great. I don’t think I can stop at eating just one. Thanks for such a great recipe.
Hi Ann, thanks I know what you mean and I didn’t!
Are these soft cookies or crunchy cookies??
Hi Bubba, I would say they are on the soft side, probably because they are so thick.
