Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Natural peanut butter
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar or coconut sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt (optional, for sprinkling)
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder (optional, for chocolate variation)
- 0.25 cup Dark chocolate chips (optional, for mix-in)
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, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.
For the chocolate peanut butter variation, mix in the cocoa powder until fully incorporated.
If desired, fold in the dark chocolate chips to the dough.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart.
Flatten each dough ball slightly with the back of a fork, creating a crisscross pattern on the Classic Peanut Butter Cookie variation.
Sprinkle the tops with a small pinch of sea salt, if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the cookies are just set but still soft to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
