These are the cookies I make when I want something quick, homemade, and protein packed (despite being delicious!). The texture is soft, the peanut butter flavor comes through without being overwhelming, and the chocolate chips melt just enough to make every bite feel like a treat. These fresh milled peanut butter chocolate chip cookies are simple, fast, and one of those recipes you’ll end up making on repeat. Plus they freeze really well!

Method
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). In a bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, and peanut butter for about 1–3 minutes, until smooth and creamy.
Mix in the eggs and vanilla until fully combined.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until a dough forms. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Use an ice cream scoop or spoon to portion the dough onto a baking sheet.
Bake for 10–13 minutes. The cookies are done when the ed
Notes
Freezing the cookie dough:Scoop the cookies onto a tray, freeze until solid, then transfer to a bag.When you want to bake:
Place straight from freezer onto the tray
Bake at 190°C (375°F)
Add 2–4 extra minutes to the baking time
This is what I do most of the time. Super practical.One thing to expect: Frozen dough usually spreads a bit less, so the cookies come out slightly thicker and softer in the center. For this recipe, that’s actually a good thing.If anything, I prefer them this way.
