Katie'S Pb And Chocolate Chippers

Cooking Instructions

By hand, in large bowl, cream softened butter, sugars, and vanilla until light and fluffy. Beat in peanut butter until well-combined. Add eggs; beat until incorporated. Stir in flour, baking powder, and baking soda (if the baking powder or baking soda are at all lumpy, sift them in, but it's not necessary to sift in the flour). Stir in chips; dough will be rather soft.

Cover; chill 1 hour (dough will remain soft). Meanwhile, line cookie sheets with aluminum foil, shiny side up. Do not grease foil. Adjust rack to center of oven. Preheat oven to 375'F.

Drop cookies by rounded tablespoons onto lined baking sheets (or use a one- and-one-half-inch diameter cookie scoop, as I do). Place only 12 cookies on a 15-1/2" by 10-1/2" sheet--these spread somewhat.

Bake in preheated oven 9-11 minutes; when done, bottom edges will be a light golden brown (the tops of these don't brown much). Let stand for a minute or two before removing to cooling racks. Cool completely before storing airtight.
