Ingredients
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Optional: Granulated sugar for rolling
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Step 3
Add the egg and vanilla extract. Stir well to incorporate.
Step 4
Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture and stir until fully combined. The dough will be soft but manageable.
Step 5
If desired, scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Roll each ball in the optional 1/4 cup of granulated sugar for a sparkling finish.
Step 6
Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. Flatten each ball slightly with a fork, creating a crisscross pattern on top.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. Avoid overbaking for the best texture.
Step 8
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Enjoy your freshly baked gluten-free peanut butter cookies with a glass of milk or a cup of tea!
