Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

In a medium bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, and salt.

In a large bowl, beat peanut butter, butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy. Gradually beat in eggs and vanilla. Add flour mixture.

Pour into a greased 13- by 9-inch pan. Sprinkle chips on top of batter. Bake for 3 minutes.

Remove from oven and run a knife through at 2-inch intervals to marbleize. Bake for 30 minutes more, until they spring back to touch and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
