Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Packed brown sugar
- 1 Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Stir until fully mixed and creamy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the peanut butter mixture, stirring until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the dough, and fold them in until combined.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Gently flatten each ball of dough with a fork, creating a crisscross pattern on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges start to firm up.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
