Peanut Butter Cookies
These cookies are not just any cookies; they’re the kind of cookies that make your heart do a little happy dance when you have one fresh out of the oven. Perfect for gatherings, or just for you after a long day, these babies are sure to impress.
Ingredients
To get started, gather up the following ingredients:
- 1 cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy, your choice!)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
Now that you’ve got your goodies ready, let’s dive into making these cookies:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (that’s about 175°C for my metric folks out there).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and sugar until it’s nice and creamy.
- Crack that egg in there, and add the vanilla extract, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Mix everything together until it’s well blended.
- Using a tablespoon, scoop out the dough and roll it into balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Now, here’s the fun part! Take a fork and press it down on each cookie ball to create that classic crisscross pattern.
- Bake those beauties in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until they look golden brown. Make sure not to overbake; they should be soft in the middle!
- Once they’re done, let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
There you go, y’all! You got yourself a batch of delightful peanut butter cookies that are ready to be devoured. Treat yourself, share with family, or keep them all to yourself—no judgment here!
