Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix together the peanut butter, sugar, and flour until well combined to form the dough.
- Step 2: Scoop the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, forming evenly sized cookie portions. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and press a piece of chocolate onto each warm cookie so it melts slightly. Let cool before serving.
Tips & Variations
- For a chewier texture, slightly underbake the cookies and let them cool on the baking sheet.
- Swap regular sugar for brown sugar to add a deeper caramel flavor.
- Add a pinch of sea salt on top of each cookie before baking for a sweet-salty contrast.
Storage
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. To keep them softer, you can add a slice of bread inside the container. Reheat gently in the microwave for a few seconds if you want the chocolate melty again.

FAQs
Can I use natural peanut butter for this recipe?
Yes, natural peanut butter works well, but the dough may be a bit softer due to the higher oil content. You can chill the dough before shaping to make it easier to handle.
How can I make these cookies gluten-free?
Simply replace the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend measured one-to-one. Make sure the blend contains xanthan gum or add a small amount if needed for structure.
