Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
Instructions
Preheat your 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 egg. Stir until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed and form a smooth dough.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion the dough into 1-inch balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each ball.
Flatten each dough ball slightly with a fork, making a crisscross pattern on the top of each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are set but the centers still look slightly soft.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your quick and easy peanut butter cookies!
