This past week has been a blur. In fact, I almost didn't post today. I really wasn't planning on sharing these cookies. It's not because they aren't delicious. . .they are. It's because it's such a simple recipe that I was almost embarrassed to put it on here. But then I thought, there are so many busy moms out there like me and there's a chance they'll appreciate a quick recipe like this one. Heck, the kids can even put this recipe together!
We're talking 4 ingredients and one of them is a package of refrigerated cookie dough. So, in a sense, this is just a "souped up" refrigerated cookie dough recipe. Are you okay with that? Life is real, friends and life gets "real" busy. I'm sure you can relate.
I was making these cookies because my kids asked for them. I call them "quick cookies." My kids, of course, know this. . . so in their minds, all I needed to do was wave my magic wand and these sweet treats would appear. If only. If only I had a magic wand. Oh, the things I would accomplish.
If you have 20-30 minutes, you can make these cookies happen. . . or even this Milk and Cookies Pie for that matter. I used some Toll House Delightfulls in these cookies, but you could use peanut butter chips, M&Ms or whatever else you can think of. My family's favorite flavor combo is chocolate and peanut butter, so that's why I went that route.
So, if your kids or grandkids are asking you for cookies and it's been a busy week, snatch up this recipe or have your teenager whip them up on their own. For those of you with college kids, it's an awesome recipe to share with them, too. Trust me. Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies. Boom.
Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies
Ingredients
- 16.5 ounce package sugar cookie dough
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup miniature chocolate chips
- ½ cup Toll House Delightfulls Milk Chocolate Morsels with Peanut Butter Filling or peanut butter chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Beat cookie dough and peanut butter in large bowl until combined and smooth.
- Stir in chocolate and peanut butter chips.
- Roll dough into 1 inch sized balls and place onto ungreased baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 minutes and cool on wire rack.
Notes
- Choose Quality Ingredients: Opt for high-quality peanut butter and chocolate chips to enhance the flavor of your cookies. Creamy peanut butter works best for a smooth texture, while using a combination of miniature chocolate chips and peanut butter-filled morsels adds delightful bursts of flavor to every bite.
- Properly Incorporate Ingredients: When beating the cookie dough and peanut butter together, ensure thorough mixing until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined. This ensures that each cookie will have a consistent texture and flavor throughout.
- Mind the Baking Time: Keep a close eye on the cookies while they bake. Since oven temperatures can vary, start checking for doneness around the 12- to 15-minute mark. Overbaking can result in dry cookies, while underbaking may lead to a doughy texture. Aim for a golden brown color around the edges for perfectly baked cookies.
