Ingredients

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

Steps

-Preheat oven to 350 degrees

-In a large bowl add peanut butter, sugar & egg

-Mix until well combined

-Spoon about a tablespoon of the dough into your hands and roll into a ball. Place onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Here are the silicone baking mats that I use https://amzn.to/3ty5tB6

-Continue doing this until there is no more dough.

-Use a fork to press down the cookies. Turn the fork 90 degrees and press down again to create that classic peanut butter cookie design

-Bake for 15-18 minutes

-Allow the cookies to cool on baking sheet completely before eating or moving. Because this is a very soft cookie you want to allow it to cool and set so it doesn’t crumble.

-Now that’s what I call and simple peanut butter cookie. Enjoy!

Tips:

-Add a small sprinkle of coarse or flaky salt to the top of the cookies before baking and it will really amp up the flavor

-For a fun twist you can melt 1/4 cup of chocolate chips in the microwave. Pour the melted chocolate into a zip lock bag, snip the corner of the zip-lock with scissors and drizzle the chocolate over the cookies for chocolate drizzled peanut butter cookies.
