Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg , room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all -purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 2/3 cups peanut butter chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the softened butter, creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar on medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  • Add the egg and vanilla extract, beating until fully incorporated and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  • Reduce mixer speed to low and gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until no streaks of flour remain.
  • Fold in the peanut butter chips by hand using a rubber spatula.
  • Using a 1.5-tablespoon cookie scoop, portion the dough into balls and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden, though the centers may still appear slightly soft.
  • Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack for complete cooling.
