Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Peanut butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, and egg. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to portion the dough, rolling each into a ball. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Optional: Use a fork to press down gently on each cookie to create a crisscross pattern on the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are set. The cookies will still be soft but firm up as they cool.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your simple, delicious cookies!
