Peanut Butter Galore

trade off...i make cookies for Liz, she makes me dinner. good deal considering i will take any opportunity to bake esp if everything is provided for me (and i don’t have to do dishes!) and i get food i can’t normally make with just my hot plate in my dorm room haha Liz is a peanut butter fanatic so the request was for peanut butter chocolate chip cookies. recipe adapted from southernfood.com



1/2 cup (1stick) butter, softened
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed

1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
