Rolls Royce PB-Chocolate Chip Cookies

My favorite peanut butter cookies are Monster Cookies, but if I had to choose the best soft peanut butter cookies recipe it would be Snoop Dogg's Rolls Royce PB-Chocolate Chip Cookies. Snoop's recipe, which he credits to his friend Berner, gives you the most full-on butter-blasted, not too sweet, soft, chip-loaded cookies. Here's a picture of one from my latest batch.

From Crook To Cook

The recipe is from Snoop's cookbook From Crook to Cook. I love celebrity cookbooks, and sometimes they even have good recipes. Snoop's book is definitely fun, but in this book all of the recipes we've tried have been good. Some family favorites are the Rolls Royce PB-Chocolate Chip Cookies, Hot Like A Skillet Pizza, Gimme S'mores Pie and Next Level Salmon. I haven't made every recipe in the book, but I have a few more recipes I want to try including Snoop's Sweet Potato Pie. And one last reason why I like it is that the recipes have weights, so you can bake by volume or use your scale. Update: Still loving this book. Bought a second copy for Fuzz.

Snoop Dogg's Rolls Royce PB-Chocolate Chip

But back to the soft peanut butter cookies. You should definitely try the Snoop Dogg recipe if you're into this type of cookie. You can find the exact recipe in the book, with a search, or you can use my adapted version, Anna's Ford Taurus PB-Chocolate Chip Cookies. I pretty much follow Berner and Snoop's directions, but I add peanut butter chips. If I have peanut butter powder in the house, I'll sometimes stir in a tablespoon of that for even more peanut flavor. Snoop's cookies are very buttery, so the bit of extra peanut flavor gives them a peanut boost.

More Tips

I went back and read reviews on Amazon and a lot of people mentioned liking these peanut butter cookies as much as I do. Here are some more tips.

• These aren't dry and sandy textured, so if that's your ideal pb cookie texture maybe try School Lunchroom Peanut Butter Cookies.
• If you don't have a scale, don't weigh your flour carefully. That is, just dip it in that flour bin, scoop and sweep like a gangster. You need to use at least 210 grams, and if you spoon lightly you might be short on flour. These cookies have a lot of butter.
• About the butter, don't let it get too melty. It should be soft, but not melted. Also, these cookies have so much butter that using European style or a real fatty butter might cause problems. I just use Land o'Lakes or Aldi. I'm pretty sure I've used KerryGold as well.
• Use everyday mainstream sweetened peanut butter like Jif, Skippy or Peter Pan. Also, weigh it. Half cup of peanut butter weighs about 130 grams.
• Weigh your brown sugar if you can. Snoop used 100 grams and so did I. If you really pack that brown sugar you might end up with 120 grams.
• Do not cut the sugar unless you're trying to make a different cookie. These cookies need sugar for structure.
