Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup natural peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, sugar, and egg. Stir until smooth and well combined.
- Use a spoon or cookie scoop to form batter into balls, then place on the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
- Flatten each ball with a fork, creating a criss-cross pattern.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden brown.
- Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack before serving.
Notes
- For added flavor, sprinkle with sea salt or add chocolate chips to the dough.
- Ensure cookies are fully cooled to achieve the ideal chewy-crispy texture.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months.
