Ingredients

1 cup - natural peanut butter
½ cup - pure maple syrup
¼ cup - unsweetened cocoa powder
1 - egg
1 tsp - vanilla extract
½ tsp - baking soda
¼ tsp - kosher salt
⅓ cup - chocolate chips
flaky sea salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the peanut butter, maple syrup, cocoa powder, egg, vanilla, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Beat on medium speed until incorporated, then stir in the chocolate chips.
Using a 1/2" cookie scoop, scoop the dough out onto the prepared pan about 1/2" apart. Flatten the dough slightly as they don't spread, and bake for 10 minutes.
Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack, then sprinkle with flaky sea salt, if using, and cool completely. Enjoy!
