Chewy, soft peanut butter chocolate chip cookies perfect for bake sales and lunchboxes. This simple one-bowl recipe uses natural peanut butter and can be made gluten-free with oat flour.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup natural peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (or oat flour for gluten-free)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the peanut butter, softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers are still soft.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For thicker cookies, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • Use natural peanut butter for the best flavor.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute oat flour for all-purpose flour. Ensure your oat flour is certified gluten-free.
  • These cookies are great for meal planning and can be frozen for later.
