Easy 5-ingredient dessert a simple and delicious recipe

**Instructions:**

1. **Preheat the oven:**

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. **Mix the ingredients:**

In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and egg. Stir until the mixture is well combined and smooth.

3. **Add the chocolate chips:**

Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

4. **Form the cookies:**

Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Gently press down on each ball with a fork to create a crisscross pattern.

5. **Bake:**

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers will still look slightly soft but will firm up as they cool.

6. **Cool and serve:**

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!

Tips:

– **Nut butter alternatives:** If you prefer, you can substitute the peanut butter with almond butter or sunflower seed butter for a different flavor.
– **Add-ins:** For a fun twist, add chopped nuts, coconut flakes, or dried fruit to the cookie dough.
– **Storage:** Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
