Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture, and beat until fully incorporated.
Sprinkle in the baking soda and salt, and mix until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips evenly using a spatula.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, portion out small balls of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Flatten the cookies slightly with the back of a fork to create a crisscross pattern, if desired.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may still look slightly soft, but they will firm up as they cool.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your gluten-free chocolate chip peanut butter cookies!
