Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together one large egg, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. Gently fold in peanut butter into the egg mixture using a spatula until cohesive.
  3. If desired, stir in chocolate or peanut butter chips for extra sweetness.
