Total Time 25 minutes mins
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup granulated white sugar
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the egg and sugar. Mix well until fully incorporated.
Add the peanut butter and continue mixing until the batter becomes smooth and cohesive.
Using your hands or a small scoop, roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
Place them 1 inch apart on a non-greased baking sheet.
Use a fork to flatten each ball slightly, creating a criss-cross pattern on the surface.
Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and set.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
