Peanut butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

My_Picture_121

The combination of chocolate and peanut butter is always a big hit in this house. Whether it's chocolate cake and peanut butter frosting or peanut butter brownies with chocolate chips.   To Read More, Click On The Recipe Title.


I'm pretty picky when it comes to cookies though and I've been looking for a soft peanut butter cookie recipe for a long time. I happened to come across this recipe from Culinarily Obsessed and decide to make it. The reason being she took her recipe and added the tips that Alton brown had when he made his "Chewy" Chocolate Chip cookie. She melted the butter, added more brown sugar than white and used bread flour. The one difference is that her oven temp. was 300 degrees, his was 375 degrees. The one adaption I made was I used 2 cups milk chocolate chips instead of 1 1/2 cups peanut butter chips . These were very good cookies, a little darker than I'm use to seeing as far as peanut butter cookies go but hey we'll deal with that just to have SOFT PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES!! Yes they were soft and chewy! Next time I make these I'll use the peanut butter chips I just didn't have any on hand today. I'll write the recipe out as I found it and you can make them the way you want to.

Your gonna notice right away that this batter looks different from other peanut butter cookies and that's because the butter is melted.

I kept the batter in the fridge in my mixing bowl while the cookies were baking, the recipe said to put the whole cookie sheet in the fridge with the cookies on it.

Other than chocolate chip, PB cookies are my favourite, but this recipe combines both!! Another really good PB cookies recipe is the one from CI, I higher recommend it - excellent peanut butter flavour, texture, soft and chewy.
