Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

INGREDIENTS

• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
• 1/2 cup peanut butter (or more! :))
• 1 egg
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/4 cup flour
• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup chocolate chips

1 Beat the butter until creamy, 2 minutes. Add the sugars, beat for 2 more minutes. Mix in the peanut butter and egg. Mix together the dry ingredients - flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt & chocolate chips. Stir the dry ingredients into the sugar butter mixture.

2 Cover the dough bowl and refrigerate the dough for ~2 hours

3 Preheat oven to 375°F. Shape dough into 1 1/4 inch balls. Place about 3 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake until light brown, 9 to 10 minutes. Cool on baking sheets for a minute; transfer to rack to cool completely.

This recipe will yield ~2 dozen cookies.

Store them in an airtight container for up to a week. Alternatively you can shape the dough into a log and freeze it for a few months. Then you can make yourself a PB pick me up whenever you need it!
