# Ingredients:

→ Cookie Dough

01 - 1 cup creamy peanut butter
02 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
03 - 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
04 - 1 large egg
05 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
06 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
07 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
08 - 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

# Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, blend together peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until mixture is smooth.
03 - Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture. Stir until thoroughly incorporated.
04 - In a separate bowl, whisk together baking soda and salt.
05 - Gradually add the dry mixture to the peanut butter mixture, stirring until just combined.
06 - Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, ensuring even distribution throughout the dough.
07 - Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough, rolling each portion into a ball. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
08 - Gently flatten each dough ball using the back of a fork, forming a crisscross pattern on top.
09 - Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
10 - Remove cookies from oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely before serving.

# Notes:

01 - Do not overbake; cookies will firm up as they cool. For a slightly softer texture, opt for the minimum baking time.
