Chocolate Chunk Peanut Butter Cookies

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1 cup smooth peanut butter
1/2 cup light brown sugar (packed)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
8 tbl unsalted butter (room temperature)
2 tbl honey
1 large egg
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
6 oz semisweet chocolate (chopped into large chunks)

Preheat the oven to 350F. Line 2 large heavy duty baking sheets with aluminum foil.
Mix the flour, baking soda and the salt in a medium bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat the peanut butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, butter, honey egg and vanilla in a large bowl until well blended. Stir the dry ingredients into the peanut butter mixture in two additions. Stir in the shoppes chocolate.

Scoop about 2 tablespoonsful of dough for each cookie onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for about 12 minutes (shorter time if using a convection oven), or until the cookies puff and begin to brown on top but are still soft to the touch.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Then use a spatula to transfer the cookies to a wire rack.
