Description
Delicious and easy-to-make peanut butter cookies that are perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (270g) creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup (198g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF and prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, sugar, and egg using either an electric mixer or a spatula. Blend the mixture thoroughly until it becomes creamy and smooth.
- Using about 1 tablespoon of cookie dough per cookie, form the dough into balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Flatten each ball with the back of a fork, creating a criss-cross pattern. If desired, you can roll the dough balls in granulated sugar before adding the criss-cross pattern.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges turn slightly golden and they are a little puffy. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet.
Notes
- For extra sweetness, rolling the dough balls in sugar before baking is optional.
