Soft Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunkers
You really can’t go wrong with the combination of chocolate and peanut butter! These cookies are soft pillow-like peanut butter cookies that are chock full of melty chocolate chips. And they’re absolutely delicious. The cookie just melts in your mouth and stays unbelievably soft after baking. I expected to like these when I made them, but I was surprised at just how much I loved them. I took them in to work for birthday treats and they disappeared much more quickly than I was prepared for. Thankfully I had saved one in my lunchbox or I wouldn’t have gotten any! If you’re a fan of peanut butter and chocolate together, I definitely recommend trying these soft peanut butter chocolate chunkers – you’ll love them. 🙂

Welcome! I'm Megan and it's my hope that here you'll find food that has been made with love and recipes that are shared with joy. Thanks for stopping by! 
I can literally just see how soft these are, Megan! The fact that the only sweetener is brown sugar just proves how soft and tender they must be without even having a taste! Hard crunchy PB cookies are not my favorite, so these look right up my alley!
These look so thick and yummy! You can never go wrong with chocolate and peanut butter!
I NEED a cookie in my life. Right. Now!
You are so right – chocolate + PB can’t be beat. These are definitely my kind of cookies!
chocolate and peanut butter…we should have a national holiday to celebrate when these two perfect foods met each other and decided to make our bellies very very happy!
I love peanut butter cookies, but I think they’re much better with chocolate. 🙂 These look fantastic!
Just made these and LOVE them. They really do come out soft & puffy..and the chocolate chips/peanut butter combo is awesome! I will make these again! Thanks for sharing Megan 🙂
So glad you liked them!!
