Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Combine the Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  6. Fold in the Chocolate Chips: Stir in the chocolate chips.
  7. Spread the Batter: Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  8. Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool and Serve: Let the bars cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature for easier mixing.
  • Don’t Overmix: Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can make the bars tough.
  • Adjust the Baking Time: Oven temperatures can vary, so keep an eye on your bars and adjust the baking time as needed.
  • Store Properly: Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
