Ingredients notes

You need these ingredients to make chocolate chip cookies with homemade peanut butter:

• Butter: Use unsalted butter that has been softened or melted and cooled.
• Peanut butter: Use creamy peanut butter or chunky peanut butter, whether homemade or store-bought.
• Sugar: A mixture of granulated sugar and brown sugar, you can replace the white granulated sugar and use only brown sugar.
• Egg: Use large egg room-temperature eggs and if you are looking for a vegan version try this vegan chocolate chip cookie recipe instead.
• Flour: Use all-purpose flour and measure the quantities with an electronic scale rather than a measuring cup.
• Baking powder: A mixture of baking powder and baking soda is essential for perfect cookie texture! If you don't have baking soda you can use baking powder only.
• Vanilla: All sweet recipes need their little touch of vanilla extract! It adds a little delicate vanilla flavor.
• Sea salt: The pinches of sea salt added to this recipe are magical, bringing out all the flavors in these cookies and especially the chocolate.
• Chocolate chips: Use semi-sweet chocolate chips, in this recipe I used my homemade chocolate chips recipe that you can also make with milk chocolate.

How to make chocolate chip peanut butter cookies

This cookie recipe is built on my go-to chocolate chip cookie dough.

• Whisk together the softened butter, creamy peanut butter, white sugar and brown sugar in a bowl with a whisk for about 1 - 2 minutes until smooth.
• Add the egg and vanilla extract and whisk again until well incorporated.
• Add the dry ingredients, flour baking powder and baking soda, cornstarch (optional) and sea salt and mix this time using a wooden spoon or a spatula until smooth.
• Stir in chocolate chips and mix again gently to incorporate them.
• Let the batter rest in the fridge for at least 20 minutes to 1 hour or if you are in a hurry go ahead and bake it right away.

Bake cookies

• Form small balls of dough with a tablespoon or an ice cream scoop.
• Place the cookie dough balls on a cookie sheet covered with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, well spaced out as they will puff up during baking.
• Preheat oven to 350°F and bake for about 13-15 minutes, the baking time depending on the size of the cookies.
• Let the peanut butter chocolate chip cookie cool for a few minutes before moving them from the baking sheets, then let them cool on a wire rack.
