Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips (optional, for an extra chocolatey flavor)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and sugar. Stir until the mixture is well blended and creamy.
- Add the egg, baking soda, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix everything together until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- If you’re using chocolate chips, fold them into the mixture for a delicious chocolate burst in every bite.
- Using a spoon or your hands, scoop out small portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure to leave space between each cookie.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden, and the center appears set.
- Once they’re done baking, 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.
