Tips for making peanut butter chip cookies
Here are my tips, so yours turns out like this recipe!
- Tip 1: Make sure to scoop your flour into the measuring cup rather than pressing the measuring cup up against the side of your flour container. If you press the measuring up into the flour you can compact it and end up with too much flour and dry cookies.
- Tip 2: Using creamy peanut butter helps it mix into the cookie dough. If you use chunky it is much harder to fully incorporate all the ingredients.
- Tip 3: Using room temperature butter and eggs will help them mix into the dough easier.
- Tip 4: Cut the peanut butter cups at least in half, or even smaller into thirds. I used the Reese’s mini unwrapped peanut butter cups. I used a whole bag for both the inside and to top the cookies.

These cookies are best at 2TBSP scoops, but can be made smaller. If you use a smaller scoop chop the Reese’s extra small and adjust for the shorter bake time.

How do I get perfectly round cookies?
While the cookies will bake very round, to get them picture perfect you can use a large biscuit cutter. Use a cutter an inch or two large than the cookie and scoot the cookie around inside the biscuit cutter to gently shape it. Do this immediately after pulling them out of the oven.

Store the Reese’s peanut butter chip cookies in an airtight container. They can be stored at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Every time I make peanut butter cookies they come out grainy. Not sure what I’m doing wrong. Help!
Usually grainy peanut butter cookies is because of the peanut butter you used. I recommend Jif or skippy. Natural pb makes it grainy.
Help! Don’t know what I’m doing wrong but every time I make peanut butter cookies they always come out grainy. What am I doing wrong?
Do you use natural peanut butter? That can cause it be gritty. The best peanut butter to use for baking is Jif or Skippy. Overbaking or not mixing the sugar and peanut butter together enough could also be the culprit.
Did you revise this recipe? I could’ve sworn i used your recipe in the past and it didn’t call for peanut butter chips and also had a 2 hour chill time. It was delicious! Thanks!
The ingredients list says 2 cups of unsalted room temperature butter, but the recipe step number two says to mix in the melted butter. Do I melt the butter or add it as softened sticks?
I updated this recipe! It is for melted butter.
New favorite peanut butter recipe!
This worked exactly as written, thanks!
I am making the dough ahead of time but confused about the freezing part. You say can be froze and thaw for one hour prior to baking, and in another sentence can be baked straight from freezer. Is one way better than the other? Can’t wait to eat these over the weekend!
I don’t know if I did something wrong but butter after I maxed was runny even though I did exactly what the recipe says but still I don’t know what will happen it’s still in the oven 😂
Never mind I was for 2x but decided not to but I added 4 eggs instead of 2 😂🥲
I was wondering can I add baking powder so it rises a little more and less flat?
I would recommend doing half and half both baking powder and baking soda!
Question here, if you are using the mini peanut butter cups, do you still chop them up? I mean they are pretty small.
I want them to be the size of chocolate chips. It won’t hurt anything if you don’t chop them.
These cookies are amazing! We made them a little smaller than the recipe and sandwiched vanilla ice cream between them for a scrumptious treat.
These cookies were spot on! I love the ingredients bring re-listed at each step, makes it easier!
Love love this recipe! Easy to follow and delicious every time. The peanut butter flavor is everything with the perfect amount of crunch!
Wow!!! This recipe is amazing!! Probably my most favorite cookie ever. Also, the peanut butter ratio is perfect. Everyone loved them!
Good day Stephanie!
I’ve just started following you! I love your page! Can you use this recipe for cut out cookies?
Kind regards,

Hello!
No, this recipe is only for the drop style cookies.
I swear these recipes are getting better and better!! They were AMAZING, excellent job! Keep up the amazing work!!
Awesome recipe! I lowered the sugar a lot because I had med. sized reeces. Also I left out the extra chocolate chips.
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH
YUM! Didn’t make them as large and baked them on an air bake cookie sheet. Taking them out slightly browned meant they say on the cookie sheets a bit longer the finish cooking. nice and soft!
Can you use chunky peanut butter? That is what I have on hand.
I haven’t tried it but I think it would work.
Absolutely the best cookies!! They are a must try. You won’t be disappointed.
So easy and yummy! I made the dough the night before and let it sit out before baking the next morning. Perfect for my peanut butter + chocolate obsession!!
I made these today & they are delicious! I had to bake them about 19 minutes. My 1st batch at 16 wasn’t quite done. I will make again but try at 1/2 the size. Everything I’ve made from your recipes has turned out great! Thanks!
OMG – Best peanut butter cookie I’ve ever had!
I am so glad you love them!
