Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, cream softened butter with dark brown sugar and white sugar for 1 minute until smooth
Add the Wet Ingredients: Mix in peanut butter, vanilla extract, and egg to create a creamy batter
Combine Dry Ingredients: Add gluten-free flour, salt, and baking soda to the wet mixture
Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently incorporate chocolate chips into the dough
Rest the Dough: Let dough sit at room temperature for 1 hour
