White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies

Hello friends! Today we are making my favorite cookies in the world! White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies! They are soft, chewy, amazing! These are the best cookies ever!

These White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies are super easy to make. A simple one bowl recipe, where you cream the butter with the peanut butter together with the sugars, and then add the egg, vanilla, dry ingredients, and chocolate chips.

That easy!

You can see the video on this page showing you how to make the cookies also. But there’s nothing complicated about it.

I can offer you a few tips on how to make these White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies the softest and chewiest you’ve ever tasted.

Cream the butter until fluffy and whitened in color. Total creaming time of the butters and sugar should be about 3 minutes with a stand mixer.

If using a hand mixer, increase creaming time by a couple of minutes.

Bake the cookies until before they actually look fully baked. Which means, remove them from the oven when they look just set.

The cookies will continue to bake and set as you take them out of the oven and let them sit. If they look baked in the oven, they will be a little tough as they dry, because they will be over baked.

I like to use the best quality white chocolate for my cookies, which is why I use Callebaut Chocolates. Their white chocolate has a high percentage of cocoa butter in it.

The higher the percentage of cocoa butter in the white chocolate, the better the quality. And often times, the white chocolate chips you find at the store don’t even have any cocoa butter in them, which makes for a poor quality chocolate.

Here’s another tip when making these White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies, or any drop cookies for that matter. When you scoop the dough to form the cookies, roll it out between your hands to form a smooth ball.

The cookies will bake up nice and round.

Take a look below, the cookie in the back was just scooped, and the cookie in front was rolled.

Also, if you can, freeze the cookies for a bit before baking them. This will ensure a better structure and texture for the cookies, if the butter enters the oven in a solid state, instead of soft.

Once you freeze the cookie balls, you can place them in a ziplock bag and keep them in your freezer, and whenever you want to eat a cookie, simply pre-heat the oven, place the frozen cookie on a baking sheet, and bake it! Voila!
