As evidenced by the dozens of cookies recipes I’ve made, you can see that I really love baking cookies of all kinds. But, I have a special weakness for cookies packed with lots and lots of good stuff.
Case in point: these cookies.
These guys are, at their heart, peanut butter cookies. But, it doesn’t stop there. Oh, no. We’ve got semisweet chocolate, milk chocolate, and white chocolate all represented. Plus plenty of toasted pecans to go with the crunchy peanut butter. It’s a little flavor adventure in every bite!
The cookies themselves bake up nice and soft. Be sure not to overbake them so they don’t lose that wonderful texture. That lovely soft cookie is the perfect vehicle for all of that chocolate and crunch. I have to say that these cookies are pretty much perfect in my book!
Of course, recipes like this one are made to be altered. Use your favorite add-ins or just clean out the pantry of ingredient odds-and-ends as I often do. Then, just bake and enjoy!

I can’t imagine the quantities you must buy chocolate in! These cookies would certainly not last long around me; peanut butter and chocolate is very much my kind of show. I love how they have lots of little treasures in them 🙂
I try not to think about the amount of chocolate I use around here. Let’s just say it’s not an insignificant amount! 😉
Oh yum!
These cookies look so thick, chewy, and nutty! With all that chocolate, too, they’re just irresistible!
These sure got my attention…all my favorites! They look so beautiful. I went to the Kraft site to check out their recipe….and yours look so much more appealing than their recipe. Nothing against Kraft.
I am always looking for different type of cookie to make my grandpa, these I am sure will become a favorite of his and I will not have to search anymore! Wow these look so good!
Just made these and they are delish!!! My oven is horrible for baking so I have one pan that is browned and crunchy and one that is perfectly soft and chewy…both really good. Making vanilla ice cream to go with!!!
Enjoy, Tim! I bet those crunchy ones crumbled up with that ice cream would be delish!
Oooh these cookies are right up my alley! I just love peanut butter cookies!
Cookies are actually my least favorite thing to bake, but these definitely look worth it! THe chocolate PB combo is the best!

I love cookies, peanut butter, chocolate, and toasted pecans. So, in summary, YUM!
