1 c. creamy peanut butter
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. packed light-brown sugar
1/2 c. semisweet chocolate chips
1 large egg, beaten
1 t. pure vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds.

In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon until smooth. Divide dough into 24 portions, about 1 heaping tablespoon each. Roll each piece between your hands to form a smooth ball. Place dough balls, 1" apart, on two ungreased baking sheets.

Using a fork, press on dough in two directions to form a crosshatch pattern.

Bake cookies until puffed and lightly golden, 10-12 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Let cookies cool on sheets.

A Note From The Little Lady: If baking sheets separately, reduce baking time to about 9 minutes each.
