Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 1 piece large egg
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
Step 2
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, and egg. Stir until the ingredients are well mixed and form a smooth dough.
Step 3
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion the dough into 12 equal-sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 4
Use the back of a fork to gently press down on each dough ball, creating a crisscross pattern on top.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Do not overbake; the cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
Step 6
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 7
Enjoy your soft, chewy, and incredibly easy peanut butter cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
