- 1 Mixing Bowl large
- 1 electric mixer
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of creamy peanut butter, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and 1 large egg. Use an electric mixer to beat the ingredients together until smooth and well combined.
- If the dough feels too sticky, cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to make it easier to handle.
- Use a tablespoon to scoop portions of the dough, then roll them into balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Press each ball down gently with a fork to create a crisscross pattern on top.
Serving
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Place the cookies in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft. Avoid overbaking.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve with your favorite beverage.
Storage
- Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. To keep them fresh longer, refrigerate or freeze.
