1 cup unstalted butter

1 cup peanut butter

1 cup white sugar

1 cup packed brown sugar

2 large eggs

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour     

1 1/2 tsp. baking soda 

1 tsp. baking powder 

1/2 tsp salt

Add in mini-chocolate chips (optional)

Preheat oven to 375°.

Beat butter, peanut butter, white sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer in a large

bowl until smooth. Beat in eggs.

Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt into a separate bowl and mix together.

Stir into butter mixture until dough is just combined.

Chill dough for 1 hour.

Roll dough into 1 inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet.

Flatten each ball with a fork, making a crisscross pattern.

Bake in preheated oven until edges are golden brown, about 10 minutes.
