Ingredients




1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon   baking Soda
1/2 teaspoon   sea salt
1 cup   old-fashioned nutty peanut butter (about 9 ounces)
1/2 cup   (packed) golden brown sugar
1/2 cup  granulated sugar
1 cup   (1 stick)butter, room temperature
2 tablespoons   honey
1  large egg
1 teaspoon  vanilla extract
5 ounces  semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped ( I used bittersweet )

Preparation

1 Sift the flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside. 2 In a large bowl, beat the peanut butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, butter, honey, egg, and vanilla in a large bowl until well blended. 3 Stir the dry ingredients into the peanut butter mixture in 2-4 additions. Be careful not to overmix or the cookies may be dry. 4 Stir in the chopped chocolate with a large wooden spoon or spatula. 5 Scoop about 2 tablespoonfuls of dough for each cookie onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. 6 Bake for about 12 minutes, or until the cookies puff, begin to brown on top and are still very soft to touch. 7 Cool the cookies on baking sheets for 5 minutes. 8 Using a metal spatula, transfer the cookies to a rack and eat warm or cool completely.
