Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1/2 cup spreadable peanut butter (no natural peanut butter)
- 2/3 cup light brown sugar (packed)
- 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 egg (large)
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose (or plain flour)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/3 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup semi sweet chocolate chips (or dark)
Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line 2 large baking sheets with baking or parchment paper; set aside.
- 2
Beat together the butter and peanut butter until creamy. Add in both sugars and vanilla extract, beating again until smooth. Beat in the egg until well combined.
- 3
Fold in the flour, baking powder and salt (be careful not to over-mix), until a smooth cookie dough forms. Then, add in half of the chocolate chips and mix them through with your fingers, or a wooden spoon.

Roll the dough into about 15 balls and arrange them on lined baking sheet. Press the remaining chocolate chips onto the tops of each cookie; bake for about 10-11 minutes, until tops are golden (do not over bake or they will dry out and become tough).
