These quick and easy peanut butter cookies are perfect for beginner bakers and delicious every time!
Ingredients
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
Instructions
Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Mix the dough: In a medium bowl, combine peanut butter, sugar, and egg. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Shape the cookies: Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Place them about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets. Press down each ball gently with a fork to create a criss-cross pattern.
Bake: Bake for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the bottoms are just lightly browned.
Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy! Serve and savor these simple, tasty treats.
Pro Tip
For a softer cookie, slightly underbake by removing them from the oven as soon as the edges start to set. Also, chilling the dough for 15-20 minutes before baking helps the cookies hold their shape better.
