Calories: 224kcal
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1/2 cup creamy 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 large egg
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose or plain flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/3 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup semi sweet (or dark) chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line 2 large baking sheets with baking or parchment paper; set aside.
- 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.
- 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).
- Allow to cool on a wire rack for about 15 minutes.
