These Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Cookies are soft, chewy, and packed with chocolate chips and peanut butter chips for an easy homemade cookie recipe.
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and sea salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened salted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together until smooth and well combined.
Add the eggs and pure vanilla extract. Mix until the dough looks lighter and slightly fluffy.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix just until a soft cookie dough forms.
Fold in the chocolate chips and peanut butter chips until evenly distributed.
Scoop the dough into 2 to 3 tablespoon portions. Roll gently into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers still look soft.
Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
Chill the dough for thicker, chewier cookies. Chill the scooped dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
Use room temperature eggs. Let your eggs sit out for 15 to 20 minutes before mixing. They blend more easily into the butter and sugar, creating a smoother dough.
Add extra chips on top before baking. Save a small handful of chocolate and peanut butter chips and press a few onto each dough ball before baking. It gives the cookies that bakery-style look with plenty of chips visible on top.
