Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter rich and smooth texture
  • 1 cup granulated sugar adds sweetness and structure
  • 1 large egg binds the ingredients together

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Start by gathering your ingredients in a mixing bowl. Add 1 cup of creamy peanut butter, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and 1 large egg.
  • Using a spoon or spatula, mix the peanut butter, sugar, and egg until well combined and slightly glossy.
  • Scoop portions of dough using a tablespoon, roll them into balls, and place them on a baking sheet, leaving space between each.
  • Press down on each ball using a fork to flatten them and create a crisscross pattern.
  • Transfer the baking sheet to a preheated oven and bake until the cookies are light golden brown around the edges.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Make sure your peanut butter is creamy. Avoid overmixing the dough and keep an eye on the cookies while baking to achieve the best texture.
