Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

- In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the peanut butter mixture and mix until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes.
Baking
- Place rounded tablespoons of dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are golden and the centers are soft.
