Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Bars
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter (I use Skippy Natural)
- 1 cup sugar
- ¼ cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup flour
- ¼ teaspoon coarse salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease an 8 x 8″ pan.
- Whisk together the flour, salt and baking powder. Set aside.
- Using a mixer, cream the butter and peanut butter together until smooth. Beat in the sugars until combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, scraping down the bowl after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Stir in the flour mixture. Add the chocolate chips, stirring until combined. Spread the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 30- 32 minutes. Cool completely before cutting.

These look really good. I love peanut butter and chocolate! I made regular chocolate chip cookie bars a few weeks ago and they were very good.
