Peanut Butter Chip Triangles

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.

2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and salt, mixing well to combine.

3. Gradually add the flour to the mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.

4. Gently fold in the peanut butter chips and chopped peanuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

5. Press the dough into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula to create an even layer.

6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

7. Allow the Peanut Butter Chip Triangles to cool in the baking dish for about 10 minutes before using the parchment paper overhang to lift them out onto a cutting board.

8. While the squares are still slightly warm, use a sharp knife to cut them into triangles or squares, depending on your preference. Let them cool completely before serving.

9. These Peanut Butter Chip Triangles can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, though they are best enjoyed fresh.
