Preheat oven

|
2 |
In the bowl
of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle
attachment (or your regular old hand mixer),
cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
Add eggs, one at a time. Add the vanilla and
peanut butter, and mix. Sift together the flour,
baking powder, and salt and add to the batter,
mixing only until combined. Fold in the
chocolate chunks. |

3 |
Drop the
dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment
paper, using either a 1¾-inch ice cream scoop or
a rounded tablespoon. Dampen your hands, flatten
dough lightly, then press the tines of a wet
fork in both directions. Bake for exactly 17
minutes (the cookies will seem underdone.) Do
not overbake. Remove from the oven and let cool
slightly on the pan, then transfer to a wire
rack and let cool completely. |

butter and delicious chocolate."
