Peanut Chocolate Bars

Ingredients

1 3/4 cups all purpose flour

3/4 teaspoons baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup unsalted butter

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup packed light brown sugar

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla

12 ounces chopped semi sweet chocolate

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375. Line a 13x9" pan with foil or cooking spray. Whisk together flour baking soda and salt. Using an electric mixer, cream the butter, sugars and peanut butter until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla until well combined. Turn mixer down to low and slowly add in dry ingredients. Turn off mixer and fold in chocolate. Press cookie dough into prepared pan and bake 20-22 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on wire rack in pan. When cooled completely, lift out by foil and cut into bars.

Tip - I just rubbed the 13x9 very liberally with butter and they can be lifted out easily with a small spatula when cooled
