Stir in flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until a soft dough forms. Fold in chocolate chips evenly through the dough. Scoop dough balls onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them apart.

Storage Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 5 days or freeze up to 3 months. Variations Peanut butter chips : Add peanut butter chips for a stronger, richer peanut flavor Crunchy texture : Mix in chopped peanuts for extra crunch Dark chocolate : Use dark chocolate chunks for a deeper, less sweet taste Nutella center : Stuff cookies with Nutella for a gooey filling Sea salt finish : Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top before baking Almond butter swap : Replace part of the peanut butter with almond butter Try this recipe as double chocolate chip cookies or like this skillet chocolate chip cookie recipe for a thicker, extra gooey version. Recipe Questions Can I use natural peanut butter? Yes, but the cookies will be slightly denser and less chewy. Why are my cookies too flat? The dough may be too warm—chill it before baking. How do I get thicker cookies? Chill the dough and avoid overmixing. Can I freeze the cookie dough? Yes, freeze scooped dough balls up to 3 months. Why are my cookies dry? Too much flour or overbaking—measure carefully and slightly underbake.
