Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup crunchy peanut butter
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
OPTIONAL
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips see NOTES
Instructions
- With an electric mixer, cream butter peanut butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda; stir into butter mixture.
- Stir in the chips, if using. Refrigerate dough for 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 375 ℉. Line several cookie sheets (I needed 4 large) with parchment.
- Roll dough into balls about 1-inch diameter and place on the prepared sheets about 2-inches apart. Flatten with a fork, making a criss-cross pattern (dip the fork in flour periodically as it will stick to the cookies).
- Bake for 10 minutes or until cookies begin to get golden around the edges. Leave on the sheets for 1 minute then remove to a rack to cool completely.
Notes
If using mini chips, use 1/2 the amount of regular (general guide)
These cookies spread so make sure you place the balls far enough apart.
