Main Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
- 1 cup white sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350° F (175° C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the cookies evenly.
- Mix ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the egg, peanut butter, and white sugar. Use a wooden spoon to thoroughly mix them together until a smooth dough forms.
- Form cookie dough balls: Spoon small golf-ball sized portions of the dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet, spacing them adequately to allow for spreading.
- Shape cookies: Gently press down each ball with a fork in a crosshatch pattern to flatten them slightly and create the traditional peanut butter cookie look.
- Bake: Place the cookie sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes at 350° F, until edges are set and slightly golden.
- Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to fully cool on the baking sheet before enjoying.
