RECIPE FAQS

How many giant peanut butter cookies does this make?

This recipe makes 6 giant cookies but of course you can make the cookies smaller and get a good dozen out of them, just reduce the bake time a touch.

What kind of chips to coat these with?

I use a combination of semi sweet chocolate and peanut butter chips.  You can coat these in just chocolate chips or just peanut butter chips if you wish.  These would also be great with white chocolate chips or milk chocolate chips. 

Can I use crunchy peanut butter?

Of course!! If you like it crunchy go for it!

Do I have to chill these cookies?

Yes! I know I know, I hate waiting for cookies to chill too!  These only have to chill for 30 minutes and it is to ensure you get thick cookies.  Without chilling the cookies will not be as tall. 

How should I store these giant peanut butter cookies?

You can store these in an air tight container for up to 5 days. 

Can I freeze these cookies?

I would recommend freezing these cookies before baking.  Just form them into the balls and coat in the chips, then place in a single layer on a tray or baking sheet and freeze for 2 hours or until solid.  Once solid place your cookie dough balls into a freezer safe bag until ready to use!  Thaw on a cookie sheet before baking.
