100kcal
Ingredients
Dough
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg at room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
Equipment
- oven
- baking sheet
- spatula
Method
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, sugar, egg, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt. Mix with a sturdy spoon or spatula until fully blended and smooth.
- Scoop tablespoons of dough and roll them into 1-inch balls using your hands. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Use a fork to gently press down on each ball, creating a crisscross pattern. Press just enough to flatten the cookies slightly.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
