Oh my goodness, these cookies! So much to love if you are a big fan of thick, soft cookies like me! And I feel a little redundant here, but I’m so amazed at what coconut oil does for a cookie. I think it’s MAGIC! So much so that I finally bought the big daddy jar at Costco. Should be set for the holidays now, right?
And did you know there is such a thing as a peanut butter stuffed chocolate chip? Well, you do now, and believe me, this is a perfect match.
These cookies stay soft for days, but won’t last long because everyone loves them. Man, these pictures are killing me because I’m kind of hungry and our cookie jar is sadly empty!
Peanut butter lovers, promise me you will make these? And then send me some too?

Description
The ULTIMATE peanut butter lover’s cookie! Super soft, thick, and made with coconut oil.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 cup dark brown sugar packed
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 3/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 cup peanut butter filled chocolate chips (I used Nestles Toll House DelightFulls)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In the bowl of an electric mixer, mix coconut oil and sugars on medium speed until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing until combined.
- Add vanilla extract, peanut butter, and Greek yogurt and mix until combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix together flour, salt and baking soda. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough is formed. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Roll the cookie dough into balls (use about 2 tablespoons of dough for each). Place dough balls onto a Silpat or parchment lined baking sheet and flatten the balls just slightly with your fingers or the bottom of a glass. Bake for 10 minutes, and then let them cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a cooling rack.

I love coconut oil + peanut butter cookies! Sooo good! I would inhale these! They’re PERFECT! Pinned!
Julie says
Thank you Averie! Sweet of you to say!
Monica says
Do you use the solid coconut oil and melt it down?
Julie says
The coconut oil I have is liquid at room temp, but you can just melt solid coconut oil so it will mix more easily. Just takes a few seconds in the microwave.
Sue says
I love these cookies. Easy to make and the flavor and texture is amazing. I cook for a living, I followed the directions to a T but I find that using 2 T per cookie only gave me 2.5 dozen. Will definitely make again!
Julie says
Thank you Sue. I love the texture of these cookies too. Thanks for letting me know about the yield – I fixed the error in the recipe.
Nikki says
So I stumbled on this recipe and made these for Thanksgiving. They did NOT last long at all. My sister-in-law and her family make a MEGATON of cookies every Christmas, and she STILL requested I make two batches of these for our Holiday get-together. In other words…these cookies rock. Tremendously. Thank you for the recipe. 🙂
Julie says
So glad, thats so awesome!
Adriene says
Is there a suitable substitute for the yogurt? I don’t have any on hand and am hoping I can replace with something else. These look so good!
Julie says
Do you have sour cream on hand? If so, that would be fine too.
Linda says
What if you don’t have sour cream either? There’s got to be somee kind of more common substitute, please?!?
Christtey Thibodeaux says
Can I use vegetable oil instead of coconut or do you know of a good substitute? I am not a coconut fan at all!
Julie says
Hi Christtey, I think vegetable oil should be just fine, but I haven’t tried it myself. Let me know how they turn out if you try them.
Denise Blankenship says
where did you find the peanut butter filled chocolate chips?
Thank you!
Julie says
So sorry, it’s been a while and I don’t remember. I believe I have seen a bag of unwrapped mini Reese’s recently at Walmart in the candy aisle
