Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 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 egg. Stir together with a spatula or spoon until the ingredients are fully blended into a smooth dough.
Using your hands or a cookie scoop, portion out the dough into 1 1/2-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Flatten each ball gently with the tines of a fork, creating a crisscross pattern on the top of each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops look slightly crackled. Do not overbake; the cookies will still appear soft when you take them out but will firm up as they cool.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy! Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
