Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to whip up these heavenly treats:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Now that we have our ingredients ready, let’s put everything together. Follow these simple steps for cookie perfection:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and granulated sugar. Mix well until you get a smooth consistency.
- Add in the egg, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt. Stir everything together until combined.
- Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, making sure to leave some space between each cookie.
- With a fork, gently press down on each cookie ball to create a crisscross pattern on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers might look slightly underbaked, but they will firm up as they cool.
- Remove the cookies from the oven, and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once they’ve cooled down, you can enjoy your delicious Peanut Butter Cookies with a glass of milk or even on their own as a tasty snack. Happy baking!
