Ingredients
  

For the cookies

  • 1 cup peanut butter Use smooth or chunky based on preference.
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup chocolate chips Use semi-sweet or dark chocolate.
  • a pinch salt

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large bowl, stir together the peanut butter, brown sugar, egg, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  • Scoop the dough onto a baking sheet, giving each cookie a gentle press.

Baking

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges look set and the center is still soft.
  • Allow the cookies to sit on the baking tray for 5 minutes to finish setting before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

If your peanut butter is very runny, chill the dough for 10 minutes to help the cookies hold their shape better.
