Ina Garten’s Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies are a gourmet twist on the traditional peanut butter cookie. They feature the signature peanut flavor you love, elevated with chunks of bittersweet chocolate that melt into the dough. The result is a cookie that’s both comforting and indulgent — chewy, buttery, and absolutely irresistible.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed

  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • 2 large eggs, room temperature

  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 12 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chunks

Instructions

Step 1 – Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2 – Cream butter and sugars

In a large bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.

Step 3 – Add wet ingredients

Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract and creamy peanut butter until smooth.

Step 4 – Combine dry ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5 – Mix dry and wet ingredients

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the peanut butter mixture and mix until just combined.

Step 6 – Fold in chocolate chunks

Gently fold in the chocolate chunks with a spatula to distribute evenly through the dough.

Step 7 – Shape and bake

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.

Step 8 – Flatten slightly

Use a fork or your fingers to gently press each cookie down slightly for even baking.

Step 9 – Bake

Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers look just set.

Step 10 – Cool and serve

Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
