Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup

    creamy peanut butter


  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 large egg room temp
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Equipment

  • 1 cookie sheet

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine peanut butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla until well blended.
  3. Scoop tablespoonfuls of dough and roll into balls. Place on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.
  4. Flatten the tops gently with a fork in a crisscross pattern.
  5. Bake for 8–10 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
  6. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Pro Tip:

Don't over bake these - they'll look underdone when you pull them out, but they'll finish cooking on the hot pan. They should still be soft in the center when you remove them from the oven.
