Let&#8217;s quickly go over the main ingredients: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Peanut Butter: <\/strong>I recommend sticking with a creamy, no-stir peanut butter like Jif or Skippy. Natural peanut butter tends to make cookies greasier and causes them to spread too much.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Brown Sugar: <\/strong>Either light or dark brown sugar will work just fine! Make sure to tightly pack your sugar into the measuring cup when you are measuring it out. If you don&#8217;t have any on hand, I have a post that explains <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/how-to-make-brown-sugar\/\">how to make your own brown sugar<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cocoa Powder: <\/strong>Since this recipe uses baking soda, it&#8217;s best to stick with natural unsweetened cocoa powder.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Butter: <\/strong>I suggest using unsalted butter for this recipe, since salted butter can taste more or less salty depending on the brand. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Vanilla Extract: <\/strong>This might be a <em>chocolate <\/em>peanut butter cookie recipe, but you still need a little vanilla to enhance the overall flavor of the cookies.  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1360\" height=\"2040\" data-id=\"51464\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Chocolate-Peanut-Butter-Cookies.jpg?resize=1360%2C2040&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"An overhead view of flour and cocoa powder in a glass mixing bowl. \" class=\"wp-image-51464\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Chocolate-Peanut-Butter-Cookies.jpg?w=1360&amp;ssl=1 1360w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Chocolate-Peanut-Butter-Cookies.jpg?resize=340%2C510&amp;ssl=1 340w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Chocolate-Peanut-Butter-Cookies.jpg?resize=680%2C1020&amp;ssl=1 680w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Chocolate-Peanut-Butter-Cookies.jpg?resize=768%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Chocolate-Peanut-Butter-Cookies.jpg?resize=1024%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Chocolate-Peanut-Butter-Cookies.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 683w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Chocolate-Peanut-Butter-Cookies.jpg?resize=560%2C840&amp;ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Chocolate-Peanut-Butter-Cookies.jpg?resize=150%2C225&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1360\" height=\"2040\" data-id=\"51457\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Chocolate-Peanut-Butter-Cookies-5.jpg?resize=1360%2C2040&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"An overhead view of a peanut butter mixture in the bowl of a stand mixer, with a paddle attachment. \" class=\"wp-image-51457\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Chocolate-Peanut-Butter-Cookies-5.jpg?w=1360&amp;ssl=1 1360w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Chocolate-Peanut-Butter-Cookies-5.jpg?resize=340%2C510&amp;ssl=1 340w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Chocolate-Peanut-Butter-Cookies-5.jpg?resize=680%2C1020&amp;ssl=1 680w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Chocolate-Peanut-Butter-Cookies-5.jpg?resize=768%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Chocolate-Peanut-Butter-Cookies-5.jpg?resize=1024%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Chocolate-Peanut-Butter-Cookies-5.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 683w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Chocolate-Peanut-Butter-Cookies-5.jpg?resize=560%2C840&amp;ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Chocolate-Peanut-Butter-Cookies-5.jpg?resize=150%2C225&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How To Make Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Combine the dry ingredients: <\/strong>In a large mixing bowl, sift the flour and cocoa powder to remove any lumps, then whisk in the baking soda and salt.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Combine the wet ingredients: <\/strong>Beat the butter until smooth (you can use a stand mixer or handheld electric mixer to do this).
