Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and sugar. Mix thoroughly using a wooden spoon or electric mixer until the mixture becomes smooth and well-incorporated.
- Crack the egg into the peanut butter and sugar mixture. Add vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt. Mix all ingredients until a consistent dough forms.
- Using clean hands or a cookie scoop, roll the dough into small balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter. Place the balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Using a fork, gently press a crisscross pattern onto the top of each cookie, slightly flattening them. This creates the classic peanut butter cookie texture.
- Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, serve and enjoy your Billie Eilish Peanut Butter Cookies!
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients for smoother mixing and better cookie texture.
- For extra richness, use natural, creamy peanut butter without added sugar.
- Don't overmix the dough to keep cookies tender and soft.
- Use a fork with a gentle touch when creating the classic crisscross pattern.
- Allow cookies to cool completely to develop the perfect chewy texture.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to 5 days.
- For a fun twist, try adding chocolate chips or drizzling melted chocolate on top.
- Make sure your baking soda is fresh to help cookies rise and spread perfectly.
