1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt

In a large mixing bowl, blend together the creamy peanut butter and packed brown sugar until smooth.
Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing well until fully integrated.

Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each ball about 2 inches apart.
Press down lightly on each dough ball with a fork to create a crisscross pattern.
