•  cooking spray, 2 spray(s)
• 1  cup sugar, granulated
• 1⁄4 cup  regular butter, at room temperature
• 1⁄2 cup chunky peanut butter

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375ºF. Coat 2 cookie sheets with cooking spray or cover with parchment paper.
2. Place sugar, butter and peanut butter in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla; blend well with mixer.
3. Add salt, baking soda and flour to sugar mixture; beat until completely incorporated.
4. Drop batter by heaping teaspoons onto prepared cookie sheets and flatten with the back of a wooden spoon. Make sure to leave about 2 inches between each cookie. (Bake in several batches to prevent over-crowding if necessary.) Place a chocolate chip in center of each cookie.
