Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup natural chunky peanut butter, salted or unsalted (I used Trader Joe’s chunky salted)
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt (might want to add a bit more if using unsalted peanut butter)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
-
oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease an 8 × 8 pan. (Note that I doubled the recipe and used a 13 × 9.)
-
Whisk together flour, salt and baking powder. Set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer or with a hand mixer, cream butter and peanut butter together on medium speed until smooth. Beat in the sugars until mixture is lightened in color and fluffy.
-
Add the eggs, one at a time, scraping down the bowl after each addition and then add vanilla. Reduce mixer to low speed and slowly add in the flour mixture. Add the chocolate chips, stirring until combined.
-
Spread the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 30-35 minutes. Remember, you might need additional baking time so just keep checking. Cool completely before cutting
