Whisk together 1 cup brown sugar and 1 egg for a minute, until the mixture becomes lighter in color.
Add in 1 cup peanut butter, 1 tsp baking soda, and 1/2 cup chocolate chips. Whisk together until fully combined.
Scoop or roll 12 cookie dough balls (about 1 1/2 tablespoons each) and place on the prepared pan.
Bake for 9-10 minutes then remove from the oven. Press a few additional chocolate chips on top of the cookies and add a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.
Let the cookies fully cool on the baking sheet, then store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
