Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray 2 cookie sheets with cooking spray.

Mix the peanut butter and sugar together until creamy and smooth.

Add in the egg and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

Stir in the salt, baking soda, and chocolate chips.

Spoon dough into balls, about 1 Tablespoon of dough for each cookie. Place them on the cookie sheets, about 2 inches apart.

Smash with a fork and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Let them sit on the cookie sheet for a couple of minutes. Move to a wire rack and cool. Make sure you don't over bake. They will set up and you want them to be soft.
