PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES

I made these for my husband and son to take to their Boy Scout meeting - it was a good thing this recipe makes a ton, because many of them were devoured before they could make it to the meeting!!

PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup peanut butter, creamy or chunky
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 large egg
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 package chocolate chunks

Heat oven to 350F.
Beat butter and peanut butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy, gradually add sugars, beating well. Add egg and vanilla, beat well.
Stir together flour, baking powder, and salt. Add to butter mixture, beat at low speed until well blended. Stir in chocolate chunks.
Drop cookie dough by scant tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto cookie sheet.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until edges of cookies are brown.
Enjoy!
