Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, mix the peanut butter, sugar, and egg until just combined into a dough. Do not overmix.
- Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Use a fork to press down on each cookie ball, making a crisscross pattern.
- Bake for 10 to 13 minutes. The edges should look set.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For softer centers, remove the cookies from the oven when the centers still look slightly underdone.
- Use creamy peanut butter for a smoother texture.
- This recipe does not use flour, making it naturally gluten-free.
