Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup Creamy peanut butter
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Light brown sugar
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
• 0 Nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly coat a 9x9-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the peanut butter until smooth and combined. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Gradually add the slightly cooled peanut butter mixture into the sugar mixture, stirring until fully combined.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it into an even layer with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Step 9

Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting them into 12 squares or bars.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy your Chocolate Chip and Peanut Butter Bars!
