They’re healthy, chewy, puffy, chocolatey bites of sweetness rounded all off with peanut butter goodness.

Why this Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

Got dietary restrictions? These Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies are your new go-to! Kid-approved, mom-approved and, obviously, also approved by me.

A while ago, I was asked to make a tray of peanut butter chocolate chip cookies for a friend’s baby shower—you can’t decline a pregnant lady’s request, can you?

The lady wanted a healthy peanut butter chocolate chip cookie that has minimal to no oil or butter added, just the good fat from the peanut butter. The peanut butter chocolate chip cookie should also not be too sweet but bursting with peanut butter flavor and chocolate chips.

Also, her perfect peanut butter chocolate chip cookies should have some oats but and be gluten free if possible. Then she asked for a nice puffy cookie that is chewy with some crunch from the nuts.

I went out and got quite a few jars of peanut butter, made a whole bunch of peanut butter chocolate chip cookies, out of which I should say some had to be thrown out.

And after a week of continuous peanut butter cookie baking, the pregnant lady approved of this batch of peanut butter chocolate chip cookies – what a relief! After that I took a long long break from anything peanut butter, chocolate chips and cookies!

I have to say that even though I didn’t eat any of these healthy peanut butter chocolate chip cookies at the baby shower, I watched them disappear so fast that the mom-to-be ran to hide some in a box so she can enjoy them later. Now that put a smile on my face:)

How to make Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

These peanut butter chocolate chip cookies come together easy as 1-2-3. Whisk up in a bowl a tiny bit of butter, peanut butter, sugar and an egg. Then add in some oats, flax powder (or whole wheat flour), baking soda, chocolate chips and raisins.

Take spoonfuls of this cookie batter, bake them for 12 minutes and you’re good to go! Raisins are not a common thing I know, but they add a touch more of sweetness.

I used crunchy peanut butter so that I don’t have to add any more nuts. Feel free to make them with smooth peanut butter and add some chopped nuts to the chocolate chip cookie batter.
