"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 cup butter, room temp
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup light brown sugar
2 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cup purpose flour
2 cup peanut butter chips
Directions:
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat and set aside.

Add the butter and peanut butter into the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Turn the mixer onto medium speed and mix for 1 minute, or until smooth and combined. Add both sugars and with the mixer still on medium, beat the mixture for 2 minutes until pale in color and fluffy, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary. Add in the egg and vanilla and continue mixing until just combined and smooth (about 45 seconds).

In a separate medium bowl mix cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder and salt; mix a few seconds until combined. Add flour and mix well.

Turn the mixer to low and add in the flour mixture. Mix until the dough comes together. Stir in the peanut butter chips, mix evenly.

Using a medium cookie scoop (2 tablespoons) scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, placing the scoops 2 inches apart.

Garnish with extra peanut butter chips, if desired. Bake the cookies for 9-10 minutes until they are golden at the edges. Remove pan from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 4-5 minutes (or they will break) and then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
