Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 0.75 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.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, and egg. Stir until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed and form a smooth dough.
Step 3
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion the dough into 1-inch balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each ball.
Step 4
Flatten each dough ball slightly with a fork, making a crisscross pattern on the top of each cookie.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are set but the centers still look slightly soft.
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
Serve and enjoy your quick and easy peanut butter cookies!
