These soft peanut butter cookies are easy to make, soft, and delicious!! Every bite packed with peanut butter flavor, topped with chocolate chips to make them extra special.

These soft peanut butter cookies are so good and so simple. They are based on a family recipe that I’ve changed a bit and really love.

Classic soft peanut butter cookies seem to always have a giant Hershey’s Kiss on the top or no topping at all, just a hash mark made with a fork. I love the peanut butter and chocolate combo {who doesn’t?!} but I don’t like how you only get one giant bite of the chocolate.

Butter and sugar in a bowl being creamed together.

Like most cookie recipes, the first steps for these soft peanut butter cookies are creaming all the good stuff together. Make sure you cream everything correctly according to the times in the recipe, this will make sure the texture and dough for the cookies are just right.

Peanut butter mixing in with creamed butter and sugar.

Measuring peanut butter tip: Spray your measuring cup with non-stick cooking spray before putting the peanut butter in it. This way you’ll be able to easily get it out!

Creamed butter, sugar, and peanut butter for soft peanut butter cookies.

Or, if you are always going to be using the same brand of peanut butter, measure out the amount you need, weigh it, and then you’ll know every other time you make these soft peanut butter cookies. You’ll never have to put it in a measuring cup again! Just make sure you’re taking out the container you’re measuring into first so you just get the measurement of peanut butter.

Egg, milk, and vanilla in a bowl with creamed ingredients for soft peanut butter cookies (focus on the vanilla).Fun fact: I never measure my vanilla. Do you? I mean….more than the recipe calls for is never a bad thing, right??

Dry ingredients in the mix for soft peanut butter cookies.

After all the wet ingredients are mixed up, add the dry ingredients. I don’t sift or anything, I just add them straight to the bowl. So easy!

Mixed dough for soft peanut butter cookies.

The final dough for these soft peanut butter cookies should look like this photo above! It should be slightly sticky but not too wet.

Then you simply scoop and bake. 10 minutes until you can dig in and enjoy.

Placing chocolate chips on top of soft peanut butter cookies.

And, I actually top my soft peanut butter cookies with a few chocolate chips! I feel like I still get the wonderful chocolate and peanut butter combo but more of it in every bite. Of course, you can top these however you choose – I think I’m going to try drizzling chocolate over the top sometimes {like in this decadent Reese’s Peanut Butter and Chocolate Marshmallow Pie!}.
