Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 large Egg Binds the ingredients together.
  • 1 cup Peanut Butter Use creamy or chunky based on your texture preference.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Provides sweetness and helps create the texture.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, sugar, and egg.
  3. Mix until the ingredients are well incorporated and smooth.
  4. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Use a fork to press down on each cookie, creating a criss-cross pattern.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are lightly golden.
  7. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

Ensure your peanut butter is well-stirred for a consistent texture. Experiment with different sugars, like brown sugar, for a richer flavor. Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness. For crunchier cookies, bake them a minute or two longer.
