Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
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 brown sugar. Stir until smooth and creamy.
Crack in the egg, add the vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt, and mix until all ingredients are well combined.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Use a fork to gently press down on each dough ball, creating a crisscross pattern. This will flatten the cookies slightly.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are slightly cracked.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
