Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, mix 1 cup creamy peanut butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 large egg, 1/2 tsp baking soda, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.
Step 2: Fold 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly into the cookie dough.
Step 3: Using a tablespoon, scoop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Flatten each ball slightly with the back of a fork, creating a crisscross pattern.
Step 4: Bake for 10-12 minutes until cookies are set and edges begin to turn golden. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
