Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 Large egg
Instructions
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.
Mix the ingredients together with a spatula or whisk until the dough becomes smooth and well combined.
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll each scoop into a ball.
Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1.5 inches of space between them.
Use a fork to gently press down on each ball of dough, creating a crosshatch pattern on the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-10 minutes, or until the cookies appear set around the edges and slightly soft in the center.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your easy homemade peanut butter cookies!
