Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 1 unit Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt to the bowl. Stir well until a cohesive dough forms.
If you’re using chocolate chips, fold them into the dough at this stage.
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, portion the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Gently press each dough ball with the back of a fork in a crisscross pattern to flatten slightly.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are just set and the tops are slightly cracked. Be careful not to overbake; they should still look a little soft in the center.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes on the sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your delicious Fooled-Me Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies!
