The BEST Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies are soft and chewy, and they turn out perfect every single time! Delicious peanut butter cookie recipe that is loaded with chocolate chips!
With a hand mixer, cream together the peanut butter, butter, white sugar and brown sugar until blended. Beat in the egg, milk, and vanilla for 2-3 minutes.
Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a separate bowl.
Add flour mixture to the peanut butter mixture and mix together, just until combined.
Stir in chocolate chips.
Scoop tablespoonfuls of dough and roll into balls. Place cookies 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets (I used parchment paper since my cookies tend to burn on my darker pans). Press each ball once with the back of a fork.
Bake for 8-10 minutes. Don't overcook! These cookies are much better soft and just barely cooked all the way through! Let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the baking sheets and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
*NOTE: Every time I have made these cookies I have used a regular creamy peanut butter (like Jif or a store-brand alternative). Several readers have commented that the cookies do not turn out as well when using a natural peanut butter.
