Ingredients

1 cup Peanut butter
1 cup Granulated sugar
1 large Egg

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 egg. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Step 3

Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to portion the dough, rolling each into a ball. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 4

Optional: Use a fork to press down gently on each cookie to create a crisscross pattern on the top.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are set. The cookies will still be soft but firm up as they cool.

Step 6

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 7

Enjoy your simple, delicious cookies!
