Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240 g) peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated white sugar
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1 cup (240 g) peanut butter and 1 cup (200 g) sugar. Stir until well blended.
- Add 1 large egg (room temperature) to the mixture. Stir thoroughly until the dough is smooth and shiny. If too sticky, let rest for 5 minutes.
- Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to portion dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
- Press each dough ball gently with a fork to create a crisscross pattern.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set and slightly golden but centers remain soft.
- Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Use room temperature egg for best mixing results. Spoon sugar into measuring cup to avoid packing. Watch baking time carefully to avoid dry, crumbly cookies. Cooling on baking sheet before transferring helps achieve chewy texture. For vegan option, replace egg with flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water, let sit 5 minutes).
