Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Peanut butter (creamy or chunky, unsweetened preferred)
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt (if peanut butter is unsalted)
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 and granulated sugar. Stir well until smooth and well combined.
Add the egg and vanilla extract (if using). Mix thoroughly until the dough comes together. If your peanut butter is unsalted, add the 1/4 teaspoon of salt and mix evenly.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion out dough and roll into 1-inch balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
With a fork, gently flatten each ball of dough in a crisscross pattern to create the classic peanut butter cookie look.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the cookies are lightly golden. Avoid overbaking, as the cookies will firm up as they cool.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your delicious, flourless peanut butter cookies! Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
