Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (115g) butter
  • 1 cup (220g) peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup (100g) sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 3/4 cups (230g) all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup (100g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180°C). Line two baking sheets with baking parchment and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl beat the butter on high speed until light in color. Add the peanut butter and two sugars and mix until all is well combined. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
  3. Mix flour, baking powder and salt and add to the bowl – mix until just combined. Add the chocolate chips and fold in (force them in if they try to escape). Form little balls (approx. the amount of a tablespoon) and press together to get flattened cookies. Place on the baking sheets with enough space inbetween. Bake for 10-12 minutes – they should have some color, but still soft in the center. Take out of the oven and let cool down on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes – then transfer to a wire rack and let cool down completely.
