A few years ago I published my Never Fail Cookies recipe and it’s been the basis of so many cookie recipes over the years. Recently we’ve been enjoying easy peanut butter chocolate chip cookies, with that same recipe as the inspiration for them. It’s such a nice alternative to more traditional choc chip cookies.
We love peanut butter and so it’s always a staple in our house – whether spread on toast, used in baking or just eaten with a spoon! We can never get enough of that glorious peanut butter flavor!
Can you vary these cookies?
These creamy Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip cookies are incredibly moreish, with a really lovely peanutty flavour to them. They’re easy to make and easy to vary too. You could change this into a white chocolate chip cookie recipe or even a dark chocolate peanut butter recipe.
Chocolate chunks would also be a great alternative to smaller chocolate chips to create a nice chunky peanut butter and chocolate chip cookie. The options are endless! One thing is for sure – everyone that tries these perfect peanut butter cookies will love them and they disappear within minutes!
These super easy cookies are best eaten straight away with the centre still gooey and the outsides chewy – perfect! But, they also keep well in an airtight container for a few days.
