| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | In a large mixing bowl, combine the white sugar, self-rising flour, eggs, brown sugar, peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix together until well combined. |
| 2 | Pinch off portions of the dough and roll them into 1-inch diameter balls. Place the balls onto an ungreased cookie sheet, spacing them evenly apart. |
| 3 | Using a fork, gently press down on each ball of dough to flatten it, creating a criss-cross pattern. Repeat this process for each cookie, alternating the direction of the fork marks. |
| 4 | Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). |
| 5 | Place the cookie sheet into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 10 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges. |
| 6 | Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the cookie sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. |
| 7 | Serve these delicious Peanut Butter Criss-Cross Cookies with your favorite beverage or enjoy them on their own for a satisfying treat. Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain their freshness. |
