Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, and egg. Stir until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll it into 1-inch balls. Place the balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Using a fork, gently press down on each ball of dough to create a crisscross pattern on the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and slightly golden. Be careful not to overbake.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your easy and delightful 1 2 3 Peanut Butter Cookies!
