Mom’s Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

Peanut butter chocolate chip cookies are one of my family’s favorite cookie flavors. They combine the yummy goodness of peanut butter with the sweetness of chocolate chips. These cookies are moist and delicious! Perfect with a cup of coffee, hot tea or hot cocoa. My kid’s like to snack on them after-school…so yeah, a great after school snack!

You can make them using creamy or chunky peanut butter. I’ve also made them using almond butter which turned out equally as well.

Mom’s Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

1/2 cup shortening
3/4 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1 large egg
2 Tbsp. milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large mixing bowl cream together the shortening and creamy peanut butter. Beat in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until creamy. Blend in the large egg, milk and vanilla extract until all ingredients are combined.

In a large mixing bowl sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture into the creamed mixture, beating after each addition until all ingredients are combined together. Hand stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until combined. You can use as little or as much of the chocolate chips that you want.

Drop the cookie dough onto an ungreased baking sheet, leaving 2 1/2″ between each one. Use the back of a spoon to flatten each one just a little bit.

Place the baking sheet into a preheated 350 degree oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until done. Remove from oven and let cookies cool on a wire rack. Once cooled, store them in an airtight container.
