Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup creamy 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 or a silicone baking mat.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, sugar, and egg. Stir until the mixture becomes smooth and fully combined.
  • Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
  • Using the back of a fork, gently press each dough ball to create the classic criss-cross pattern.
  • Bake for approximately 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden while the centers remain soft.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2 to 3 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Serve and enjoy.

Notes

Natural peanut butter can be used, but make sure it's thoroughly stirred before measuring.
Crunchy peanut butter creates a slightly crispier texture with added crunch.
Allow the cookies to cool completely before storing to maintain their texture.
These cookies pair perfectly with a glass of milk, coffee, or hot chocolate.
