Equipment
- Mixing bowls
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Fork For crisscross patterns
- Parchment paper
- Baking sheet
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. This step ensures even heat distribution and makes cleanup a breeze.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, sugar, egg, vanilla extract, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the mixture forms a smooth, sticky dough.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently press each ball with a fork to create a crisscross pattern.
- Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown. Be careful not to overbake, as Peanut Butter Cookies taste best when they're soft and chewy.
- Remove them from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
