Ingredients

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional for extra indulgence)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.

Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.

Sift in the baking soda and salt, then stir until all ingredients are combined. Fold in chocolate chips if using.

Using a tablespoon, scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.

Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a fork, creating a crisscross pattern.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.

Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
