Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Brownies - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    6 tablespoons sweet unsalted butter, at room temperature
    1/2 cup peanut butter (I use creamy)
    1 1/4 cups brown sugar, packed
    2 large eggs
    3/4 cup all-purpose flour
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    1/2 - 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
    Generously grease& flour an 8\" square baking pan.
    Cream butter using an electric mixer.
    Add peanut butter and beat until blended, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a spatula as needed.
    Beat in brown sugar.
    Beat in 1 egg at a time, then add the vanilla.
    In another bowl, sift together the flour, salt, and baking powder.
    Add the flour mixture to the peanut butter mixture and beat until blended.
    Using a wooden spoon,stir in the chocolate chips.
    Spread evenly into the prepared pan and bake about 37-55 minutes, or until top is lightly browned all over and no longer shiny, and a toothpick poked in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs stuck to it (as opposed to wet and goopy batter); check early - the earlier you pull them out of the oven, the more moist they will be.
    Let cool before cutting; they should be like moist, fudgey brownies in texture and they will firm up when they are fully cooled.
