I was looking for a recipe to bake with my children, they love Peanut Butter and I asked a Friend for some ideas and she gave me this Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe.

It is very simple to make and the kids love it.


Ingredients:

1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, softened

A heaping 1/4 cup peanut butter, crunchy or smooth (I used natural smooth PB)

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 large egg

1 cup brown sugar

1 cup flour

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1 /4 tsp salt

6 oz. bag peanut butter chips

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x9 square baking dish and line with parchment paper - leaving an overhang on opposite sides so that you can lift out the bars when they are done.

2. Whisk flour, baking powder and salt together with a fork; set aside.

3. Cream together butter, sugar, peanut butter and vanilla extract until light and fluffy - about 4 minutes. Beat in egg.

4. Stir in dry ingredients and then peanut butter chips.

5. Spread batter into prepared pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until toothpick comes out with a few crumbs attached.

Be careful not to over bake.

Cool slightly ( serve bars a little warm ...especially when served with ice cream and chocolate sauce), cut and serve.
