Nutter Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Ingredients

Peanut butter: You will need 1 cup of peanut butter for this recipe. Note, we recommend sticking with the classics like Jif or Skippy peanut butter. Natural peanut butter does not bake well and will not give you the same results.

Butter: Add ½ cup of softened butter to create rich tasting cookies.

Sugars: Using ½ cup each of granulated white sugar and brown sugar ensures sweet and chewy treats.

Egg: Help bind the ingredients together by adding 1 large egg to the dough.

Milk: For a little more moisture, add 3 TBSP of milk.

Vanilla extract: You need 1 tsp of vanilla extract to enhance the flavors in this dough.

Flour: The base and structure of this cookie recipe is 1 ½ cups of all purpose flour.

Baking powder: Use ¾ tsp of baking powder to help these cookies puff up nicely as they bake.

Salt: Adding ¼ tsp of salt brings out the natural flavors in every bite.

Chocolate chips: To make sure that there is plenty of chocolate in every cookie, you will need 1 ½ cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips.

Nutter butter cookies: You will need 1 cup of crushed or broken up Nutter Butter cookie pieces.

How to make Nutter Butter Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies

Prep

Start by preheating the oven to 375°F. Then, line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicon mats and set them aside.

Place the nutter butter cookies in a zip locked bag and break into small pieces, you don’t want sand like texture, you want small chunks.

Cookie dough

Next in a large bowl and using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer, cream the peanut butter, softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until well blended.  

Now, beat in the egg, milk, and vanilla extract until combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder to mix. Proceed to add the dry flour mixture to the wet peanut butter mixture and beat to combine.

After that, stir in the chocolate chips and ¾ cup of the nutter butter cookie pieces.

Scoop

Proceed to scoop tablespoonfuls of the cookie dough and roll into balls, place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.

Then gently flatten each ball of dough with your hand, or a fork, and then top each with 3-4 chocolate chips and a couple pieces of the Nutter Butter cookies.  

Bake

Place the cookies in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes. Be careful not to overcook, these cookies are much better when soft and barely cooked all the way through.  

Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serve immediately and enjoy!

How long are nutter butter chocolate chip cookies good for?

These cookies can last about 5 days in an airtight container at room temperature. These cookies do not require refrigeration but can be placed in the fridge if desired.

What is the best type of peanut butter to use for baking cookies?

For the best results, creamy brands like Jif or Skippy are recommended. These types of peanut butter provide the necessary oil content and consistency to help the cookies maintain their shape during baking.

Can I freeze peanut butter chocolate chip cookies?

Yes, these cookies can do very well in the freezer! You can freeze them after they’ve been baked, for up to 3 months in an airtight container, or place the scooped balls of dough in the freezer for up to 2 months before baking.

If you freeze the dough, you’ll want to freeze them on a baking sheet for 2 hours before transferring them to an airtight container. Then place them on a baking sheet at room temperature as the oven preheats and bake as directed.

How can I prevent my cookies from becoming too crumbly?

To avoid crumbly cookies, ensure the correct ratio of wet to dry ingredients. Adding enough fat, such as softened butter, and not overmixing the dough can help maintain moisture and cohesiveness in the cookies.

HOW TO MAKE THE BEST COOKIES EVER!

Three kitchen items really help you make the best cookies ever! In fact, I use these items in nearly every cookie recipe, as well as several other types of recipes, they are quite versatile.

• First, I line my cookie sheets with a piece of parchment paper. They’re sold in sizes that fit a 12×16 cookie sheet perfectly and enable to cookies to bake well without sticking- and no mess from spraying oil on the cookie sheets!
• The second item is a KitchenAid mixer. I love mine! I have a Bosch as well but I find I use my KitchenAid for cookies. There is a cookie paddle that comes with every mixer that you attach to the top of the mixer. They’re easy to use and help you mix the ingredients uniformly. Add this to your wish list because it’s one of my all-time used small appliances ever!
• The third item is a cookie scoop! Years and years ago I used to use 2 spoons to measure and scrape cookie dough onto the pans. It wasn’t a perfect process and I often ended up with oblong cookies in various sizes. A friend of mine brought cookies to a party and I noticed each and every one of her cookies looked PERFECT. Her secret? A cookie scoop! They come in three sizes- 1/2 tablespoon, 1.5 tablespoon and 3 tablespoon scoops. I used the smallest size- 1/2 tablespoon for these thumbprint cookies.

Sometimes I take a picture and it’s almost like that picture gives me a glimpse into the future. This is one of those! She’s only 9 here but I see her as a teenager! It makes me laugh too as the humidity of the beach takes her curly hair up a notch or 5. Ha! If anyone has figured out how to make their kids stop growing up so fast, pass the tip along to me, because I need it!
