Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (250g) creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated white sugar
  • 1 large (50g) egg

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, sugar, and egg.
  3. Stir vigorously until the mixture is smooth and the sugar is fully incorporated; the dough should be thick and slightly glossy.
  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  5. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a 1-inch ball. Place balls 2 inches apart on the sheet.
  6. Use a fork to press a crosshatch pattern into the top of each ball, flattening them slightly.
  7. Bake for 8–10 minutes. Remove the tray the moment the edges look set and slightly golden, but the centers still look slightly underbaked.
  8. Allow the cookies to cool on the hot pan to firm up completely.
