Ingredients
 

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup light or dark brown sugar, lightly packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp coarse Kosher salt (if using table salt, use half the amount)
  • ¼ tsp ground cinnamon, optional
  • cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F, and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine everything except the chocolate chips, stirring the mixture into a soft dough.  Stir in the chocolate chips.
  • Use a medium-sized cookie scoop (about 1 1/2 tablespoons) to portion out the dough into 18-20 balls. Roll the cookie dough balls smooth between your hands, and flatten slightly. Place the cookies 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
  • Bake the cookies for 8 minutes, or until slightly puffed and cracked, but not overly brown.  Let cool on the baking sheet for several minutes, then carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. If you like, decorate the cookies by pressing a few more chocolate chips on top of the cookies while they're hot. Finish with a sprinkling of flaky salt.

Notes

Store leftover cookies in an airtight container for two days, or freeze indefinitely.
