Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup sugar, plus more for rolling
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 cup peanut butter, or almond butter
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Whisk together dry ingredients in a medium-sized bowl. Add the egg and beat well with a whisk to combine. Add the peanut butter and combine until smooth. Stir in chocolate chips.
