Please read our disclosure policy . Looking for the best peanut butter chocolate chunk cookies? Look no further. Soft, chewy cookies full of peanut butter flavor and studded with melty chocolate chunks. I tested these nearly 10 times to make sure the texture was just right, and they have earned themselves many fans since they were first published in 2013. Sandra says: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “I made these, and froze them. They are so delicious. They didn’t last long, as I used the freezer cookies in my sons lunch!” These cookies were first added to our cookie archives  back in 2013, but they are such a staple (and always such a hit at our house) that it felt like time to bring them back to your attention with some fresh new photos. They are completely classic and by far the best peanut butter cookies I’ve ever tasted. A salty and sweet peanut butter base studded with chocolate chunks – what’s not to love?

First Name * Email Address Custom Captcha * = Save Recipe Ingredients for Peanut Butter Chunk Cookies All-Purpose Flour – Just regular AP flour needed for these cookies. I’ve also made these with a gluten-free 1:1 flour sub (I like King Arthur’s ) with great results.  Creamy Peanut Butter – I have always made these with conventional creamy peanut butter (like JIF), but I’m sure they would be great with crunchy peanut butter as well. If you try them with natural peanut butter, I’d love to hear how it turns out! Unsalted Butter – As with most baking recipes, it’s a great idea to use unsalted butter and then add measured salt to your recipe for consistent results.  Sugar – You’ll need both white (granulated) sugar and light brown sugar to give these cookies that tender, chewy texture. Cornstarch – Cornstarch helps the cookies to bake up thick and stay and soft and tender for longer after baking.  Baking Soda, Kosher Salt, Pure Vanilla Extract, Large Eggs – Standard cookie baking ingredients.  Semi-Sweet Chocolate – They’re also great with M&Ms, chocolate chips, or a combo of chocolate chips and M&Ms. Pick your favorite!
