Description
Deliciously rich and chewy peanut butter blondies loaded with chocolate chips.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
- ½ cup smooth peanut butter
- 6 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2–3 tablespoons additional chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two 8-inch square baking pans with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Using a stand mixer, combine butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar. Beat until creamed together and fluffy, starting at low, then increasing to medium high (so sugar doesn’t spray out). Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Decreasing the speed to medium low, beat in egg and vanilla. Set the mixer to low and slowly mix in the flour mixture until well mixed, scraping down the bowl as needed. Stir in chocolate chips.
- Transfer peanut butter blondies dough into the prepared baking pans and smooth dough into an even layer with a rubber spatula. Optionally, press additional chocolate chips into the dough.
- Bake for 18-24 minutes. Mine took 20 minutes. Cool in pans for 30 minutes. Carefully transfer bars directly onto a cooling rack for 1-2 hours, slice into 9-16 bars per pan and enjoy!
