Can we ever have enough dessert recipes with peanut butter and chocolate?
The answer is obvious, so cookies including peanut butter and chocolate are definitely a recipe worth baking up in your cozy kitchen for all your peanut butter cookie lovers. Give a nice warm welcome to these Soft Batch Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies!
These awesome soft batch cookies include actual creamy peanut butter
I made some of these cookies sugar-coated and some not. After a cookie test, I like a dusting of sugar on these peanut butter cookies and it’s really not that much extra sugar, giving the cookies a slight cookie crunch yet super
This recipe is a copycat of Disneyland’s Peanut Butter Cookies if you’ve ever had the pleasure. But you can make these at home because these cookies taste just equally good as the real Disneyland cookies and will soon become your everyone’s favorite.
One of the things I love is, you don’t have to chill the dough, so you can bake these up right away. But there’s no reason if you want to prep ahead to bake later, go ahead and scoop your dough balls out and roll in sugar. Seal tightly until ready to use, about 2 days. These will also make the cookies even thicker and you’ll have to increase your baking time a couple of minutes.
As far as sizes for these cookies, I used a medium cookie scoop
You don’t want to over-bake these cookies, so depending on size, start with medium scoop sized cookies at 10-12 minutes. Large cookie scoop – 12-15 minutes and jumbo at 15-18 minutes.
After baking cookies, do not remove from cookie sheet until 5 minutes is up. They are very soft after leaving the oven, so they need to set up before placing on wire rack
