Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Peanut Butter (smooth or crunchy)
- 0.75 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 piece 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 the egg. Use a spoon or spatula to mix until the ingredients are well combined and form a smooth dough.
Using your hands or a cookie scoop, roll the dough into balls about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Gently press each ball down with the tines of a fork to create a crisscross pattern on the top of the cookies. This will also flatten them slightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are set. Avoid overbaking, as the cookies will firm up as they cool.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
