Step 1:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2:

In a large bowl, cream together the peanut butter, softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Step 3:

Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4:

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5:

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.

Step 6:

Fold in the chocolate chips.

Step 7:

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8:

Bake for 11–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but centers are still soft.

Step 9:

Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
