Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream butter and peanut butter together until thoroughly combined; beat in vanilla.
Sift sugar, flour and salt together; add to butter mixture; mix until dough comes together and is no longer dry and crumbly. A stand mixer helps with this job. Add chocolate chips towards the end of mixing, distributing evenly.
Turn dough out onto a board; continue to work it with your hands until it comes together like a pie dough. Divide it in 2 equal parts; shape them into flat disks. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap; refrigerate for about 1 hour.
Roll out the chilled dough onto a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 to 1/3 inch thickness.
Bake on prepared baking sheet for about 13-15 minutes.
They will be soft and white when done, but will firm up as they cool. Let cookies rest on the hot cookie sheet for 1-2 minutes; transfer carefully to a cooling rack.
Makes 2 1/2 - 3 dozen.
