You guys these are seriously the BEST Bakery Style Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies EVER!!!!! It is a recipe I make very often in my household. It is my families favorite!!!
Each cookie is about 4 ounces (about 1/2 cup) in size, filled with just the right amount of chocolate chips and peanut butter. They are so delicious you will have to resist the temptation to not eat the entire batch to yourself.
How To Make Bakery Style Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
First, gather all your ingredients.
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup peanut butter creamy or crunchy
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 & 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 2 & 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips (or your favorite chocolate chip)
First, preheat the oven to 350°F degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
With a handheld mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix the butter, sugars, peanut butter, eggs, and vanilla together until combined.
Add in the flour, baking soda, and salt and mix until just combined.
Fold in chocolate chips.
**Not required but I always like to chill my dough over night to give the cookies that bakery style texture.**
Using a food scale measure 4 ounces of dough or 1/2 cup, scoop the dough onto a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Only make 6 cookies per sheet.
Use your hand and slightly flatten each scoop of dough.
This step is optional, but I like to reserve about a 1/2 cup of chocolate chips and place 4-6 chips onto the tops of the cookies so you can visually see more chocolate chips.
Bake for 12 to 14 minutes at 350°F degrees. Every oven is different so make sure to check so the cookies do not over bake.
Remove cookies from oven and cool on baking sheet for 2 minutes before placing on wire rack.
Store in an air tight container for up to 5 days.
Every time I make these Bakery Style Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies I always save a few and I make ice cream sandwiches. The girls love to help me. We usually go with vanilla or chocolate ice cream but you can pick your favorite ice cream. Then roll the sides of the ice cream sandwich with your favorite side topping.
Some side toppings you can use are:
- Sprinkles
- Nuts
- Cereal
- Crushed candy
- Crumbled cookies
- Crumbled graham crackers
- Crushed pretzels
- Coconut flakes
- Marshmallows
- Chocolate chips
- Brownie bits
I then use plastic wrap to wrap them all up and then store them in the freezer.
Tips & Tricks
- Store in an air tight container for 5 days.
- Not required but I always like to chill my dough over night to give the cookies that bakery style texture.
- Unbaked cookie dough can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 4 months, so consider baking only as many cookies as desired and save the remaining dough to be baked in the future when desired.
- If you make your cookies smaller, your baking time will be reduced.
- A quick tip is to use a good quality chocolate. Trust me, it will make your cookie taste that much better. My favorite go-to chocolate chips are Ghirardelli Chocolate Chips. They are seriously the best chocolate chips.
- Some of my favorite gadgets to bake with are the Solula Professional 18/8 Stainless Steel Medium Cookie Scoop I got from Amazon. I also love the LARGE baking pan I got from my favorite store Target Wilton Ultra Bake Professional. Lastly, I love using Amazon Basics Silicone Baking Mat instead of parchment paper. They are super easy to clean and they fit perfectly in your baking pan.
- For all-purpose flour I love using Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free All Purpose Baking Flour. I first fell in love with this brand when I started eating healthy back in 2012, shortly after our twins were born. I first tried their Steel Cut Oats. Then when I had more time to bake I started using a lot of their other products such as, Almond Flour, Coconut Flour, Gluten Free Flour, Whole Wheat Flour, Pastry Flour, Bread Flour, and Xanthan Gum. They have so much more too! Baking mixes, Oats, Bars, Cereal, Granola, Grains, Beans, Seeds, Baking Aids, and more Flours! Seriously go check them out. Best quality baking products out there and no I am not getting paid to say this, I just love their products that much!
- Since I bake quite often I like to buy stuff in bulk. I love buying my flour, sugars, pure vanilla extract, butter, oil, eggs, and spices at Costco.
- Costco, Target, & Amazon are my favorite stores to shop at!
