Chewy Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 egg, at room temperature
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• 3/4 cup dark chocolate chips

Directions

1. In a small bowl, whisk the flour with the baking soda, salt, and baking powder, then put the mixture aside. Beat the butter with both sugars in the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attached until the mixture turns pale and airy, about 4 minutes. Mix in the egg and vanilla until smooth, then beat in the peanut butter. Add the dry mixture and stir only until the flour disappears. Fold in the chocolate chips. Cover the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.
2. Move the oven racks to the lower and upper middle spots, then heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cover 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop the dough with a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, then roll each portion between your hands into a smooth ball. Set the dough balls on the lined baking sheets and continue with the remaining dough. Bake until the cookie edges have just taken on color, about 10 minutes. Leave them on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then move them to a wire rack to cool completely.
