Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, and egg. Use a spoon or spatula to mix until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of dough at a time and roll it into a ball using your hands. Place each ball onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Using a fork, gently press down on each dough ball to create a crisscross pattern on top. This also helps flatten the cookies for even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the cookies have a light golden color. Be careful not to overbake.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes to firm up. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your magical peanut butter cookies!
