Follow these simple steps to create your own Lunch Lady Peanut Butter Chip Cookies:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until evenly blended.
3. Add Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir until a dough forms.
5. Fold in Chips: Gently fold in the peanut butter chips and optional chocolate chips until evenly distributed in the dough.
6. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
7. Scoop Cookie Dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
8. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
9. Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Enjoy: Once cooled, enjoy these amazing cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
