  • Yield: 12 cookies

Ingredients

1 cup peanut butter

1 cup sugar

1 egg

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. In a mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, sugar, and egg. Stir until smooth and fully mixed.

  3. Roll the dough into small balls, about 1-inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

  4. Flatten each dough ball gently with a fork, making a crisscross pattern on top.

  5. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown.

  6. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Chocolate Chips: Add 1/4 cup of chocolate chips for a delicious peanut butter-chocolate combo.

  • Nutty Twist: Stir in chopped peanuts or other nuts for extra texture and crunch.

  • Coconut: Add shredded coconut to the dough for a tropical twist.

  • Salted: Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top before baking for a sweet and salty flavor.
