Creamy, chocolate chip cookies with a rich peanut butter flavor, perfect for satisfying sweet cravings and sharing with friends or family.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Cream together the butter, peanut butter, and brown sugar until smooth.
- Add the vanilla, flour, baking powder, and salt; mix until well combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Spread the mixture evenly into a 13 x 9-inch pan.
- Bake at 325°F for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar. You can substitute almond butter for peanut butter if you need a nut-free option. Make sure to let the mixture cool before cutting for cleaner edges, and for extra decadence, try adding chopped nuts or a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these sandollars warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or alongside a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an indulgent dessert. They also pair well with a glass of cold milk or coffee. For a delightful twist, consider serving them alongside Fanny May'S Chocolate Fudge for a dessert platter that will impress guests.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of flour?
Yes, you can substitute all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier option, though it may slightly alter the texture. Gluten-free flour blends can also work, but make sure to check the blend's packaging for proper ratios and substitutions.
What can I do if the mixture is too crumbly?
If your mixture is too crumbly, try adding a tablespoon of milk or water gradually until it comes together. This will help bind the ingredients without affecting the flavor significantly. Just be careful not to add too much liquid at once.
Can I add other mix-ins to this recipe?
Absolutely! Feel free to mix in chopped nuts, dried fruit, or even a swirl of caramel for added flavor. Just be mindful of the total volume of add-ins to ensure the mixture maintains its structure while baking.
