Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) so it’s perfectly prepared for your cookies.
- Combine the peanut butter, sugar, egg, baking soda, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl. Mix until you have a fully integrated dough that feels rich and creamy in your hands.
- Scoop out small portions of the dough and roll them into balls, about one-inch in diameter.
- Place the dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and gently press down with a fork to create a crisscross pattern.
- Slide the baking sheet into your preheated oven and let the cookies bake for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown.
- Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Notes
Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. For longer storage, freeze in a freezer-safe bag for up to three months.
