The Ingredients: This recipe requires only three ingredients that you likely already have in your pantry:
1 cup of peanut butter (smooth or crunchy, depending on your preference) 1 cup of sugar (granulated or brown sugar for a richer flavor) 1 large egg
Making these cookies is as easy as mixing, shaping, and baking. Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.
Mix the Ingredients: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, sugar, and egg. Stir until all the ingredients are fully incorporated, and the dough is smooth. The mixture should be thick and slightly sticky.
Shape the Cookies: Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Place each ball on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each one. For a classic touch, gently press a fork onto the top of each ball to create a crisscross pattern.
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are set and lightly golden. The centers may still look soft, but they will firm up as they cool.
Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, these cookies will have a slightly crisp exterior with a soft, chewy center.
