Preheat oven to 375°F / 190°C and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the peanut butter for 30-45 seconds, stirring until smooth.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Stir in the melted peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla until just blended.
Fold in the vegan chocolate chips.
Drop 2-tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared sheets and flatten slightly.
Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until golden brown.
Let cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
