Ingredients
– 1 cup creamy peanut butter
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 cup packed brown sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup chocolate chips (optional, but highly recommended!)
Equipment Needed
– Mixing bowls
– Electric mixer or whisk
– Measuring cups and spoons
– Rubber spatula
– Baking dish (9×13 inches)
– Parchment paper (optional for easy removal)
Step-by-Step Instructions
First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and well-combined. I love the smell of peanut butter filling the kitchen—it’s simply irresistible! Once that’s done, add in the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
