Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
Instructions
Preheat the 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, egg, vanilla extract, and baking soda. Stir until all ingredients are fully incorporated and you have a thick dough.
Using a tablespoon, scoop out dough and roll it into balls. Place the balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
Gently press down each cookie ball with a fork, creating a crisscross pattern on top of the cookies.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the cookies appear slightly cracked on top.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
