Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get it nice and warm for baking your cookies.
- Combine the peanut butter, sugar, egg, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl.
- Mix everything together until well combined, creating a thick and creamy dough.
- Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in size, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Press down each ball with a fork to create a crisscross pattern.
- Pop the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are slightly golden around the edges.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a stronger peanut flavor, use chunky peanut butter instead of creamy. Adjust the sugar by substituting some with brown sugar.
