Easy peanut butter chocolate chip cookie recipe
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies are a popular twist on classic chocolate chip cookies. These treats combine the rich, nutty flavor of peanut butter with the sweet, melty texture of chocolate chips.
These cookies feature a soft and tender center with lightly crisp and chewy edges. Their irresistible balance of sweet and salty makes them a crowd-pleaser for bake sales, parties, or cozy nights in.
These cookies go perfectly with classic milk or plant-based options like almond, oat, or soy milk. Black coffee contrasts the richness, while chai or spiced cocoa adds warmth. For colder options, try iced coffee, fruity iced teas, or citrus-infused sparkling water.
You can enjoy these cookies with alcoholic beverages like chocolate stouts, especially barrel-aged ones, White Russians, or strawberry daiquiris. Semi-sweet whiskey, IPAs, and wines like Pinot Grigio, or rich sherry also pair beautifully.
