Ingredients
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 piece Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt (optional, for sprinkling)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract.
Step 3
Stir until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are well incorporated.
Step 4
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop out about 1 tablespoon of dough for each cookie and roll it into a ball.
Step 5
Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 6
Use a fork to gently press down on each ball, creating a crosshatch pattern. Sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt on top of each cookie if desired.
Step 7
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The cookies will still be soft but will firm up as they cool.
Step 8
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes.
Step 9
Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely before serving. Enjoy!
