Submitted by all4him

"These are soooooo good! My boyfriend and I can't stop eating them. (Make sure not to over cook or they won't be soft.)"

 

• Ready In: 25mins
• Ingredients: 11
• Yields: 35-40 Cookes

ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, Softened (but not melted)
• 1 cup creamy peanut butter (for more texture you could use crunchy. I used all natural organic creamy peanut butter)
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1⁄2 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups whole wheat flour (you could also use all purpose flour)
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup peanut butter chips
• 1⁄2 cup nuts, Chopped (optional)

directions

1. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Cream butter, peanut butter, and sugars together until smooth.
3. Add eggs and vanilla, beat well.
4. Stir in flour and baking soda until well combined.
5. Mix in chips and nuts by hand.
6. Using a cookie scooper or a spoon, scoop up 1 1/4 inch balls of dough and place 2'' apart on a greased cookie sheet. (For smaller cookies make smaller balls of course. Do not push them down.).
7. Bake for 15 minutes or until cookies are firm around the edges but do not wait until the tops are brown.

8. Tips:

9. Wait 3-4 minutes before transferring to wire rack to cool.
10. You could use any kind of nuts you want and even switch up the chips.
11. If you put the cookies into a zip lock bag place a piece of sandwich bread in with them to keep them soft.

I tried this recipe with all purpose flour, and used 1/2 cup white and 1/2 cup brown sugar. These cookies were delicious. I also added bits of crushed pretzels and sprinkled vanilla fleur de sel on top. The were incredible. I am going to try this recipe using whole wheat and all purpose flour next time.

Made with 1/2 cup each sugar as others suggested. Also used maple syrup in place of vanilla (didn't have any on hand). Used all chocolate chips- turned out great! Soft, chewy... like a little cloud if you eat them right out of the oven! Firmer when you actually let them cool, haha! Great all around.

I first made this recipe about a year and a half ago, and I've probably made it fifty times since then. It's definitely my go-to for super soft cookies! You do have to take them out before they look "done", though, or they'll firm up a lot (but still taste great)!

I could not believe how delicious these cookies were. I did a few changes added butterscotch chips w/ the chocolate chips. I love soft cookies & my boyfriend loves crunchy and the cookies can be baked to a cruchy state. Bravo to the person that came up with this recipe. Thank you from Hollister, California Yvonne S.

These are super delicious! The only thing I changed was the amount of sugar. I used 1/2 cup of each sugar. I also used milk chocolate chips instead of semisweet.
