Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup unsalted butter melted and cooled
- ½ cup brown sugar tightly packed
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup creamy peanut butter (see note)
- 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 360 degrees F and prepare a 9-inch x 13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the melted butter, brown sugar, sugar, and vanilla until combined. Stir in the egg and the peanut butter.
- Add the peanut butter mixture to the dry ingredients. Gently fold until everything just start to come together.
- Add almost all of the chocolate chips and fold them into the cookie dough. Save the extras for the next step.
- Transfer the cookie dough into the prepared baking dish and press into an even layer. (see note) Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips over the top of the dough.
- Bake on the middle oven rack for 17-20 minutes. The bars are done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean. (see note)
- Let the bars cool for 5 minutes in the pan. Then use the parchment paper to lift them from the pan and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Cut into 15 bars and serve.
Notes
- Baking time depends on your oven, the pan you use, and how chewy you want the bars to be. Check them after around 15 minutes of baking.
- I used a 9-inch x 13-inch pan, if you want them to be thicker, use an 8-inch x 8-inch pan and bake them 3-5 minutes longer.
- Organic peanut butter is not recommended as it might get too oily for this recipe.
