  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Additional:

  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper or by greasing it lightly.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine melted butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  4. Stir in Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips to the batter.
  5. Bake: Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake for 25–30 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
  6. Cool and Slice: Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before slicing into individual bars.

Notes

  • For a gooier texture, slightly underbake the bars.
  • These bars can be frozen and stored in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
