Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (250g) creamy or chunky peanut butter
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar (white or brown sugar)
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- Optional: pinch of salt if peanut butter is unsalted
- Optional: splash of vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- In a mixing bowl, stir together 1 cup peanut butter and 1 cup sugar until well mixed.
- Crack 1 large, room-temperature egg into the bowl and mix until the dough forms a sticky ball. Add a teaspoon of water or milk if too dry.
- Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, roll dough into 1-inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
- Press each ball gently with a fork to create a crisscross pattern.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain slightly soft.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Notes
Use room-temperature egg for better dough consistency. Press cookies with a fork to prevent puffing. Check oven early to avoid overbaking. Chilling dough for 15 minutes can improve handling and flavor. Stir oily peanut butter before measuring.
