Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 large egg (at room temperature)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, creamy peanut butter, and large egg. Stir the mixture until it is smooth and all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Form Dough Balls: Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball with your hands. Place each ball on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
- Create Crisscross Pattern: Using a fork, gently press down on each dough ball to flatten slightly and create a classic crisscross pattern on top of your cookies.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for approximately 10 minutes or until the edges are set and the tops show slight cracking.
- Cool on Baking Sheet: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on it for about 5 minutes to firm up.
- Cool Completely: Transfer the cookies to a wire rack and let them cool completely before serving to ensure the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- For best results, use creamy peanut butter rather than chunky.
- Make sure the egg is at room temperature to help the mixture combine smoothly.
- You can substitute granulated sugar with coconut sugar or a sugar substitute for variation.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- For a slight twist, add a pinch of salt or vanilla extract to the dough.
