These pan-banging chocolate chip peanut butter cookies are without a doubt my favorite cookie recipe on this blog! They're made with just 10 ingredients, all of which I bet you already have in your pantry. Though they do require some chill time, the chewy edges, soft & buttery centers, and pools of melted chocolate make it well worth the wait!

Pan-Banging Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies

Instructions

1
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together the butter and peanut butter on medium speed for 2-3 minutes.
2
Add the sugars and continue beating for 2-3 more minutes until light & fluffy.
3
Beat in the egg and vanilla until fully combined.
4
Add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix the baking soda in with the flour to break it up.
5
Mix on low speed until just combined.
6
Lastly, fold in the chopped chocolate with a rubber spatula.
7
Cover the bowl and place in the fridge for at least one hour or overnight.
8
Once the dough has chilled, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) and line two baking sheets with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
9
Use a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop to portion the cookie dough.
10
Roll each cookie dough ball in granulated sugar and top with more chopped chocolate.
11
Place the cookie dough on the prepared baking sheets about 3 inches a part.
12
Bake the cookies for 8 minutes, then remove from the oven (close the door) and drop the baking sheet onto a towel-covered countertop about 5-6 times.
13
Place the cookies back in the oven for an additional 3-4 minutes.
14
Allow cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Brown Butter for Deep Flavor 🧈
    Brown your unsalted butter before mixing to develop nutty, complex flavors that elevate the entire cookie beyond standard recipes.
  • Strategic Chocolate Placement 🍫
    Reserve some chocolate chips to press into the dough after portioning onto the baking sheet, ensuring visible melted chocolate pools on the finished cookies.
  • The Pan-Bang Technique ⚡
    Gently bang the hot baking sheet on the oven rack 2-3 times at the 10-minute mark to create those signature crinkled edges while keeping centers soft.
  • Chill Time Optimization ❄️
    Chill dough for at least 2 hours (or overnight) to prevent spreading and create that coveted chewy center with crispy edges.
  • Peanut Butter Selection Matters 🥜
    Use natural or freshly ground peanut butter rather than overly processed brands to avoid excess oil, which can cause greasy, flat cookies.
