Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 12 mins
Total Time: 22 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 36 cookies

Ingredients

  1. 1 cup peanut butter
  2. 1 cup granulated sugar
  3. 1 egg
  4. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  5. 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  6. 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and granulated sugar. Mix thoroughly until the sugar is well incorporated and the mixture becomes smooth and slightly fluffy.
  3. Crack the egg into the peanut butter and sugar mixture. Add the vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Using a hand mixer or wooden spoon, mix all ingredients until a cohesive dough forms. The mixture should be slightly sticky but hold together well.
  5. Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll into small balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter.
  6. Place the cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
  7. Using a fork, gently press a crisscross pattern onto the top of each cookie, slightly flattening them.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  9. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Tips

  1. • For the most consistent cookies, use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to ensure uniform size • Make sure your peanut butter is at room temperature for easier mixing • Don't overmix the dough - just combine until ingredients are incorporated • The classic fork crisscross pattern isn't just decorative - it helps cookies cook evenly • Let cookies cool completely to achieve the perfect texture • Use natural, creamy peanut butter for the best flavor and consistency • Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to 5 days • For extra richness, use crunchy peanut butter instead of smooth • Line baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup and preventing sticking
