Prep time: 15 minutes | Cook time: 10 minutes | Total time: 25 minutes 

__________________________________________________________

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened) 
• 1/2 cup creamy spreadable peanut butter (original recipe says to not use natural peanut butter)
• 2/3 cup light brown sugar
• 1/2 cup white granulated sugar 
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract (If you're out you can use maple syrup as a great alternative)
• 1 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/white) chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 large baking sheets with baking or parchment paper, set aside.
2. 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. 
3. 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. 
4. Roll the dough into about 15 balls and arrange them on a 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 because they can become dry and tough)
5. Allow to cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes. 
6. Enjoy :DD

Tips (from my personal experience)

When they first come out of the oven, they may be really fragile and prone to breaking apart. Because of this, I usually let mine cool on the baking tray that they're on rather then trying to transfer them to a rack straight away :P

Recipe says that it calls for creamy (smooth) peanut butter but personally I use crunchy peanut butter since it's just whats in the house and it comes out good :)
