My favorite cookies

Okay I don't have any pictures of these because honestly they never last long enough for me to remember to take pictures. I looked for a long time for a great peanut butter cookie recipe and I finally found this one and it's been my go to cookie recipe for years now. I always end up adding chocolate chips because well, isn't peanut butter always better with some chocolate? I also love this recipe because it's super easy to remember and I can do the whole batch start to finish in probably 15 minutes. Plus these are the kind of cookies that are soft and gooey and stay soft for days. (Not that they'll last that long!)

Peanut Butter chocolate chip cookies
1/2 C butter (1 stick)
1/2 C brown sugar
1/2 C sugar
1/2 C peanut butter (I always use crunchy)
1/2 t baking soda
1/2 t baking powder
1/2 t vanilla extract
1 egg
1 1/4 C flour
semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cream butter and peanut butter in mixing bowl. Add brown sugar, sugar, baking soda, baking powder. Mix till combined. Add egg, vanilla, till blended well. Slowly add flour till mixed. Then add as many chocolate chips as your little heart desires. I use semisweet but milk chocolate chips work as well. Bake for 10-12 minutes. If you like yours to stay chewy then pull them out before they get brown all over.
