I am so happy to participate in Staci Troilo’s Cookie Recipe Exchange again this year! I had originally thought I wouldn’t have the time to bake and share, but lo and behold, I did! So, here we go. Thank you, Staci, for doing this again!
PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP PECAN COOKIES
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup butter (I use the Kerrygold brand)
1 cup creamy peanut butter (I used the Trader Joe’s organic brand)
1 cup sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs – room temperature
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 1/4 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped pecans
3/4 cup dark chocolate mini-chips (I use Lily’s) If you don’t like dark chocolate, you can substitute with milk chocolate.
DIRECTIONS:
Heat Oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, cream the butter, peanut butter and sugars until light and fluffy (approx. 5-7 minutes). Beat in eggs and vanilla.
Combine the flour, baking soda and salt and gradually add to the creamed mixture until well bended. Fold in the pecans and chocolate chips.
Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
This recipe made four dozen cookies, so I put some into sandwich baggies and shared with my neighbors. They are delicious!
If you try them, let me know.

Thanks for the recipe, Jan. These sound delicious.
My pleasure, Mark. Thanks for visiting!
Those sound great, Jan. I like the use of brown sugar instead of white sugar. Nice touch! I haven’t made cookies yet and really should. They look so good!
I love to substitute brown sugar for white sugar and I didn’t think of it in time, or I would have done that with this recipe. Glad you enjoyed it and if you make them, let me know!
We avoid sugar, Jan, but I have a good substitute, (and substitute brown sugar too), for special occasion recipes. It works great with cookies. 🙂
These look delish – sounds like a delicious combination of flavors!
Thanks so much. Glad you stopped by!
Wonderful! I’m so happy you enjoyed!
Sounds amazing. My husband is the baker. I’ll pass it on to him. Thanks for sharing, Jan!
Great! Hope you enjoy, if he bakes them, Joy. Thanks for stopping by!
Sounds delish Jan. Thanks 🙂 x
They definitely are, Debby. Thanks for visiting!
🙂
I hope you don’t mind, but I will print this recipe. When we lived in the US I bought a huge cook book. The chocolate chip cookies in it are a must at every holiday season… now, I’d love to see whether this one even beats them…. lol!
Of course I don’t mind, Erika. That’s why I shared it. I hope you enjoy if you make them! thanks for visiting.
I made them and they turned out very well! Next time I’ll just have to make sure I only make half the amount. 😅 Thanks for the recipe!!!
These sound delicious! Now, I’m hungry
Lol, Joan. Yep, they definitely can make a person hungry. Thanks for visiting!
Oh, YUMMMMM! Adding this recipe to my cookie list for the holidays. My family is still raving about the peppermint cookie recipe you shared from last year. They were a huge hit! Thanks, Jan! xo
Fantastic, Mary! Thank you so very much for stopping by and grabbing the recipe. I hope your family enjoys these! Hugs and Merry Christmas!
Wow. Do these sound good, Jan Thanks for sharing
My pleasure, John. Thanks for stopping by!
Coffee was great too.
Good to know, John. 🙂
😊
I love peanut butter cookies. I don’t see them around often enough.
It’s hard to go wrong with peanut butter and chocolate, Jacqui. Thanks for stopping by!
My husband would flip out for these! Thank you, Jan, for sharing. 🌞
Wonderful, Gwen. I hope you try them! Tell Larry I shared this recipe just for him. 🙂
It’s like you made these just for me, Jan – I’m a diehard lover of peanut butter and chocolate! Maybe you should send some to your neighbor here in KY – just sayin’.
Lol, Teri. Yep. If only we were a little closer. 🙂
Is there any better combination in a cookie than nuts and chocolate? Thanks for the recipe, Jan!
I think not, Priscilla. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
Oh my goodness. Peanut butter, chocolate and pecans, all things that I love. I will have to try these, as I think they would definitely be a hit around her. Thanks for sharing this recipe, Jan.
It’s a great combo, Carla. Hope you enjoy. Thanks for stopping by!
I doubt four dozen would last long here. They sound delicious! Thanks for sharing, Jan.
They are pretty darned yummy, Staci. And I think they’ll freeze well, which is good because I don’t need to eat them all. 🙂
I wish we were neighbors! These sound delicious. The addition of creamy peanut butter must give them a wonderfully rich flavor. Thank you for sharing!
Awww, I wish we were too, Amy. I’d certainly share! Thanks for stopping by.

Hi Jan, this recipe looks really nice. My sons love anything peanut butter flavored.
I hope you will give it a try, Robbie. Thanks for stopping by!
Jan, these look delicious and your neighbours are very lucky indeed! I bet they hope that you’re baking again soon! 😀 Yesterday I made a chocolate cake based on my grandmother’s recipe – so light yet a satisfying crunchy top. Always makes me think of her. Hugs, Annika xx ❤️
