Soft Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
These soft peanut butter cookies studded with chocolate chips and peanuts, are pretty addictive if you're a peanut butter fan. Soft and tender, they deliver chocolate and crunchy peanut bursts in every bite. I use chunky peanut butter for some extra more texture, but these are also good made with the creamy version. So use what you have on, there's no need to go buy another jar. Top with flaky salt and grab a glass of milk to enjoy these cookies to their fullest!

Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon table salt
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter softened
- ¾ cup chunky or smooth peanut butter
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons milk
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips or semisweet if you prefer
- ⅓ cup chopped dry-roasted unsalted peanuts
- Flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In bowl of stand mixer (or in a large bowl using a hand held mixer), beat the butter and peanut butter on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Beat in both of the sugars until blended, stopping to scrape down the sides of bowl with a rubber spatula when necessary. Beat in the egg and vanilla.
- Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the flour mixture and milk until blended, scraping down the sides of the bowl when necessary.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and peanuts.
- Drop the dough using a small scoop or by heaping, rounded tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart. Bake the cookies, one sheet at a time, until just starting to lightly brown around the edges, but are still soft in the center, 11 to 13 minutes.
- Cool the cookies on the sheet set on rack for 5 minutes, then transfer to the rack to cool completely. Sprinkle with flaky seas salt before serving.
Notes
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
