Description
Thick, chewy, bakery-style cookies loaded with chocolate chunks, creamy peanut butter cups, and a touch of white chocolate drizzle — these are a peanut butter lover’s dream.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped mini peanut butter cups
- 6 peanut butter wafer cookies, broken in half (for topping)
- 6 full-size peanut butter cups, halved (for topping)
- 1/2 cup melted white chocolate (for drizzle)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream together butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture and mix until just combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, and chopped peanut butter cups.
- Using a 1/4 cup scoop, portion cookie dough balls onto prepared sheets, spacing them 3 inches apart.
- Press half a peanut butter cup and half a wafer cookie gently into the top of each dough ball.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are golden and centers are soft.
- Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
- Drizzle with melted white chocolate and let set before serving.
Notes
For thicker cookies, chill dough for 30 minutes before baking. Use chunky peanut butter for extra texture or swap white chocolate drizzle for dark chocolate for deeper flavor.
