- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Optional granulated sugar for rolling
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, sugar, egg, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt. Mix until well combined and a dough forms.
- Form the Cookies: Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the dough and roll them into balls. If desired, roll the balls in extra granulated sugar for added sweetness.
- Bake: Place the cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them to spread. Flatten each ball slightly with a fork to create a crisscross pattern. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Cool: Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
