Ingredients
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine sugar, peanut butter, and egg. Mix until the dough is smooth and fully incorporated.
- Scoop 1-tablespoon portions of dough and roll into balls. Place them 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
- Flatten each ball slightly using a fork to create a crisscross pattern.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are set and tops are lightly golden.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
These cookies are naturally gluten-free.
Customize with mix-ins like chocolate chips or a drizzle of melted chocolate.
Add a sprinkle of flaky sea salt before baking for a sweet-and-salty flavor.
For a nut-free option, use sunflower seed butter.
