Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, sugar, and egg. Mix well until a uniform dough forms.
- Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each ball.
- Use a fork to press down on each cookie ball, creating a crosshatch pattern. Press once vertically, then once horizontally.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly set. Do not overbake if you want soft and easy cookies.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a fudgy peanut butter cookies easy result, slightly underbake them by one minute.
- If your dough seems too dry, add a teaspoon of milk. If it is too sticky, add a tablespoon of extra sugar.
- This recipe makes no chill peanut butter cookies, ready to bake immediately.
