Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Optional: Chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until smooth.
Add the egg, baking soda, vanilla extract, and salt to the mixture. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated.
If you're using chocolate chips, fold them gently into the dough at this stage.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, scoop out dough and roll into balls, approximately 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter.
Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Use the back of a fork to gently press down each dough ball, creating a criss-cross pattern on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9–11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake; the cookies will firm up as they cool.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days (if they last that long!).
