Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup peanut butter regular, not natural
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

Method
 

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    Mix peanut butter and sugar until combined.
      Add egg, vanilla, and baking soda, then mix into a smooth dough.
        Roll dough into small balls and place on baking sheet.
          Flatten each ball with a fork in a crisscross pattern.
            Bake for 8–10 minutes until edges are set and centers are soft.
              Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring.

                Notes

                Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Do not overbake—cookies will firm up as they cool. Dough can be frozen and baked later. Avoid natural peanut butter for best results.
