Ingredients
- 1 cup Peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt (optional, if peanut butter is unsalted)
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 mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well-blended. If you're using unsalted peanut butter, add the optional salt as well.
Step 3
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls using your hands. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
Step 4
Flatten each dough ball slightly using the back of a fork, pressing down once and then again in the opposite direction to create a crisscross pattern on top of each cookie.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are just starting to turn golden. Be careful not to overbake as the cookies will firm up as they cool.
Step 6
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 7
Serve and enjoy your Lazy Man’s Peanut Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
