I love trying new cookie recipes, so when I stumbled across a copy of Snoop Dogg's cookie recipe from Good Morning America, I had to make a batch! Originally shared in his "From Crook to Cook" cookbook, Snoop's recipe has made its rounds on the web with rave reviews.
Anytime I review a recipe, I make it using the exact ingredients and measurements. That way, I can truly review the cookie the way it's intended, then I share my notes and things I'd change if making them again. As a baker, I was skeptical of the low amount of flour compared to butter and peanut butter. You can see my notes at the end of the post.
Why I Like This Recipe
- Easy to make cookies of various sizes. I baked some of Snoop's cookies in the recommended size (tablespoon scoop), as well as jumbo-sized cookies (3 tablespoon scoop), and included baking times for both.
- Rich flavor. I thought these cookies were absolutely delicious. A fantastic chocolate chip peanut butter cookie that was just as soft on day 2.
- Simple ingredients. I used generic ingredients, and my cookies were delicious. You don't need to buy expensive butter or fancy chocolate chips.
What Others Are Saying
These cookies are so good. I made them gluten free with 1:1 flour and added caramel bits per my son's request. They are so chewy and full of flavor!---Janice
I made these and added a bag of semi sweet chocolate chunks, a ½ cup of mini chips and 3 crushed up Butterfinger bars. So good and so easy!---Pamela
Used mini chocolate chips. Husband gave 2 thumbs up. Yummy! ---Marsha on Pinterest

Tips and Tricks
- Best baking sheets for cookies. I only bake on light colored baking sheets. My favorite are these aluminum half sheet pans that you can buy on Amazon (Sam’s Club also sells a similar one). The light colored pans bake much more evenly than dark pans.
- Reshaping cookies tip. If your cookies aren't completely round after baking, you can quickly reshape them using a spatula or a large round cookie cutter right after they come out of the oven.
- Cooling rack tip. This was shared by a reader! "I thought I would share a tip for removing cookies to a rack to cool. I use a rimless baking sheet lined with parchment. After letting the cookies sit for 5 minutes I slide the parchment paper and cookies onto the coing rack. So much easier than trying to remove them one by one!"---Renee
Ingredients
- Butter: The recipe didn't specify salted or unsalted. I use salted butter exclusively for baking, so that's what I used.
- Peanut butter: creamy
- Brown sugar and white sugar: a 50/50 blend.
- Egg: for richness and texture.
- Vanilla extract
- All-purpose flour: Some celebrity recipes call for a blend of cake flour or bread flour (Jacques Torres cookies and Mama Kelce's cookies), but I like that these stick with one type of flour.
- Baking soda and salt
- Semisweet chocolate chips

Brandy's Notes
- These cookies are soft, with a crisp outer edge. They literally melt in your mouth! The only downside is that I'd consider them a delicate cookie---but that isn't a deal breaker at all. Just something to be aware of if you want a cookie that you can stack in a cookie jar. This is due to the high butter and low flour content.
- I let one batch cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack, and allowed the second batch to cool completely on the baking sheet. I don't see any reason to transfer the cookies to a cooling rack for this recipe. The cookies that cooled on the baking sheets were just fine, and I didn't risk them breaking by moving them while still warm.
- If your cookies aren't completely round after baking, you can quickly reshape them using a spatula or a large round cookie cutter right after they come out of the oven.
Cookie FAQs
I prefer to bake on light-colored baking sheets. If you use dark metal sheets you’ll need to watch closely to make sure that the cookies don’t brown too quickly.
There are a lot of different thoughts and opinions on butter. I've used a generic brand of butter from either Walmart or Sam's Club for the past 20+ years. Why? Because it's affordable and yields fantastic results. Use whatever butter fits your budget. That isn't to say that a better quality butter wouldn't give my cookies a richer flavor, but for as much baking as I do, it isn't worth the additional cost.
No chilling is required for this recipe. For chocolate chip cookie recipes, chilling isn't usually needed for texture, but it can enhance the flavor of the cookie which is why it is often an optional step.

Jill K says
Why are mine so crumbly? Weird.
Brandy says
They are more delicate than most cookies, but shouldn't be too crumbly. I kept mine in a container, stacked flat, didn't put in a cookie jar---they'd definitely break!
Angela says
Do you use salted butter or not salted?
Brandy says
I always use salted butter. 🙂
Kristy says
These came out super yummy! I added a bit of chopped reese's peanut butter cups with just a bit of mini chocolate & peanut butter chips as well. Soooo good!! I love anything peanut butter. I think this would be good with reese's pieces as well!

OMG, that sounds amazing!

Dee says
Instead of regular peanut butter, could you use chocolate peanut butter? Or even crunchy peanut butter? Just a thought.
Brandy says
I don't see why not!
Brandy says
I didn't expect much from these cookies, but they were honestly super flavorful and had a wonderful texture. Give them a try!
