Pre heat oven to 375

Cream:

1/2 cup butter

Add gradually and beat until creamy:

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup white sugar

(I use homemade vanilla sugar)

Beat in:

1 egg

1 cup peanut butter

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

(I use homemade vanilla paste)

Sift and stir in:

1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sifted all-purpose flour (you may need to a little more if your peanut butter is really oily)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Stir in:

1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

Roll the dough into small balls. Place them on a greased cookie sheet. Press flat with a fork. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.
