Ingredients
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Optional: Chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until smooth.
Step 3
Add the egg, baking soda, vanilla extract, and salt to the mixture. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Step 4
If you're using chocolate chips, fold them gently into the dough at this stage.
Step 5
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, scoop out dough and roll into balls, approximately 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter.
Step 6
Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 7
Use the back of a fork to gently press down each dough ball, creating a criss-cross pattern on top.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 9–11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake; the cookies will firm up as they cool.
Step 9
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days (if they last that long!).
