Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until a dough forms. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough (about 1.5 tablespoons each) onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are just set around the edges but still soft in the center. Do not overbake.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your Not Around for Long Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies!
