Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 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, combine the peanut butter, sugar, and egg. Mix until well combined and a dough forms.
- Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Using the back of a fork, gently press down on each cookie to flatten it slightly and create a crisscross pattern.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use creamy, natural peanut butter.
- You can add a pinch of salt if your peanut butter is unsalted.
- For a decorative touch, you can sprinkle a few coarse sugar crystals on top before baking.
