1cupcreamy peanut butter, do not use natural peanut butter
¾cupbrown sugar
½teaspoonbaking soda
1pinchsalt
1large egg
1teaspoonpure vanilla extract
½cupsemi sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Heat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
With a mixer on medium speed, beat peanut butter and brown sugar together until fluffy, approximately 3 minutes. Add baking soda and salt and mix until incorporated.
Add the egg and vanilla and mix on low-medium until well combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Using a 1-tablespoon scoop, place dough by the tablespoons on prepared pan. Use the back of the scoop or a spoon to press dough balls down slightly to help them spread while baking.
Bake cookies 8-10 minutes. Cookies are done when they are crackly on the tops and just ever so slightly browned. Cool completely on baking sheet. Store in airtight package.
Notes
I usually double this recipe. I bake a dozen and freeze the rest in balls, 4-6 per package.
