Ingredients

½ cup butter melted
¾ cup peanut butter smooth
1 cup brown sugar
½ cup sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 cups flour or a gluten free 1-to-1 blend
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. salt
2 cups chocolate chips semi-sweet

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Add melted butter to a large bowl along with the peanut butter, brown sugar, white sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed with a handheld mixer for 20-30 seconds, or until combined.
Add 1 cup of flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to the bowl. Whisk just the dry ingredients with a fork or whisk so they’re evenly distributed. Beat everything together on medium speed until the flour is incorporated into the wet ingredients. Add in the rest of the flour ¼ cup at a time until it is well combined.
Mix in the chocolate chips by hand and scoop out 1 ½ tablespoons worth of dough using a cookie dough scoop. Place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet at least 2 inches apart. Repeat this with the remaining dough.
Bake in the preheated oven for 11-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned.
Let cool completely before serving or packaging up. Enjoy!
