Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and sugar until smooth.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture and blend well.
Sprinkle in the baking soda and salt; mix until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring even distribution.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto a greased baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
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 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
