# Instructions:

01 - Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper.

03 - In another bowl, combine the softened butter and peanut butter, mixing until smooth.
04 - Gradually add the granulated sugar and light brown sugar to the butter mixture, beating until the mixture is light and fluffy.
05 - Add the eggs one at a time into the sugar-butter mixture, followed by the vanilla extract, ensuring each is fully incorporated.
06 - Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Do not overmix.
07 - Gently fold in the peanut butter chips and semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
08 - Evenly press the cookie dough into the prepared baking pan.
09 - Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
10 - Allow the cookie bars to cool completely in the pan. Use the parchment paper to lift them out, then cut into squares.
