How to Make Dr Cookie Peanut Butter Squares

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8 inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup creamy peanut butter and ½ cup packed light brown sugar using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Add 2 large egg whites and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Stir in ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the squares cool completely in the pan before cutting into 16 squares.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
