Ingredients
- 1 cup Peanut Butter (creamy or chunky)
- 0.75 cup Granulated Sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown Sugar (packed)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Mini Peanut Butter Chips (optional but recommended)
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, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until smooth and fully incorporated.
Step 3
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly blended.
Step 4
Sprinkle in the baking soda and salt, folding them into the dough until well combined. If using, gently fold in the mini peanut butter chips for an extra burst of flavor.
Step 5
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, form the dough into 1-inch balls and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a fork, creating a crisscross pattern on the top.
Step 7
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Do not overbake — the cookies will firm up as they cool.
Step 8
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Serve and enjoy your No Butter Peanut Lover's Peanut Butter Cookies with a glass of cold milk or your favorite beverage!
