1 1/2 cups peanut butter chips

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.

7Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
8Stir in the peanut butter chips with a spatula until evenly distributed.
9Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
