Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Peanut Butter (creamy or crunchy)
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 large Egg
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, mix the peanut butter, sugar, and egg until completely combined. The dough will be stiff.
- Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Use the back of a fork to gently press down on each ball, creating a crisscross pattern.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. The edges should look set.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- We suggest using a standard, processed peanut butter for the best texture. Natural peanut butter might make the dough too oily.
- Richard always prefers crunchy peanut butter for added texture in these simple treats.
- Do not overbake; these cookies firm up as they cool.
