½ cup peanut butter

1/3 cup butter, softened

2/3 cup granulated sugar

½ cup packed brown sugar

2 eggs

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

¼ teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 350°. Grease a 9×9 inch baking pan.  In a medium bowl, cream together peanut butter and butter. Gradually blend in the brown sugar, white sugar, eggs, and vanilla; mix until fluffy.  Combine flour, baking powder, and salt; stir into the peanut butter mixture until well blended. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes in preheated oven, or until the top springs back when touched. Cool, and cut into 16 squares.
