Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 unit Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and salt.
Stir the mixture with a spatula or spoon until it forms a smooth, thick dough.
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, portion out the dough into 12 equal balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
Gently press each dough ball down with the tines of a fork to create a crisscross pattern on the cookies.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9–10 minutes, or until the edges look set and slightly golden. The centers may look undercooked, but they'll firm up as the cookies cool.
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.
Enjoy your soft and chewy flourless peanut butter cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
