Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until fully incorporated.
Fold in the chocolate chips gently.
Using a spoon, scoop out dough and roll it into balls, placing them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Flatten each ball slightly with your hand or a fork.
For added flavor, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden.
