Scale
Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
- 1 cup white sugar
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cookies.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the egg, peanut butter, and white sugar. Use a wooden spoon to mix thoroughly until you achieve a consistent dough.
- Form Dough Balls: Spoon out small golf-ball sized portions of dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet, spacing them to allow for slight spreading.
- Shape Cookies: Gently press down each dough ball and create cross hatch marks on top using a fork to give the classic peanut butter cookie appearance.
- Bake: Place the cookie sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden and the cookies are set.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the cookie sheet before enjoying your soft, chewy peanut butter cookies.
Notes
- These cookies are soft and chewy, despite having only three ingredients.
- You can use either creamy or chunky peanut butter depending on your texture preference.
- Do not grease the cookie sheet to ensure cookies maintain their shape and texture.
- Allowing the cookies to fully cool helps them set properly for the best texture.
