These bold and chewy Snoop Dogg Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies, also known as the “Rolls Royce” version from his From Crook to Cook cookbook, combine rich peanut butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips in a buttery-dense dough. Swapping cake flour for all-purpose (a pro tweak!) makes them melt-in-your-mouth soft. The result? Crisp edges, tender/crinkled centers, and an addictive blend of salty and sweet that stays soft for days. Bake these for a stylish twist on a classic cookie that’s perfect for gatherings—or just channeling your inner rapper-chef.
1 ½ cups cake flour* (Snoop originally uses all-purpose)
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
2 sticks (16 Tbsp, ~220 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
½ cup creamy peanut butter
½ cup packed light brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (mix minis & regular for texture)
Optional: flaked sea salt for sprinkling
*Substituting cake flour softens texture; use all-purpose if desired.
Preheat oven to 350 °F (175 °C) for cake flour version or 375 °F (190 °C) if using all-purpose. Line baking sheets with parchment.
In a medium bowl, whisk together cake flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a stand mixer with paddle attachment (or with hand mixers), beat butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy (≈3 minutes).
Add the egg, then peanut butter, beating until fully combined.
Mix in the dry ingredients on low speed until just combined.
Fold in chocolate chips by hand. Spoon 2 Tbsp dough balls onto sheets, spacing 2 in apart. Chill 2 hours or overnight for best shape (optional).
Bake:
Cake flour version (350 °F): 12–15 min until golden at edges, sheets switched halfway.
All-purpose version (375 °F): 8–10 min small cookies; 11–12 min for jumbo.
After oven, tap pan to crack tops, cool on sheet 5–10 min, then transfer to wire rack. Optional: sprinkle sea salt before baking.
Store in airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days.
