Peanut Butter & Choc Chip Cookies

1 cup smooth peanut butter
1 cup soft brown sugar (lightly packed)
1 tbl SR flour
1 large egg
Pinch of salt
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 tsp bicarb of soda
3/4 cup chocolate chips (Dark/milk mix is good!)

Mix the peanut butter and sugar together, add the egg, vanilla, salt & bicarb. Finally add the chocolate chips.

Spoon balls on to a greased, lined baking sheet, about walnut size. flatten then a little with a fork, and sprinkle sugar on top for that crispy finish. Bake for 10 minutes at 200c. cool on the tray, then lift to a cooling rack once cool enough to move without crumbling.
