Instructions:
-
Prepare the Dough: Start by combining the peanut butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated into a smooth dough.
-
Shape the Cookies: Take small portions of dough and roll them into 1-inch balls. Place them on an ungreased baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie for space to spread.
-
Flatten the Cookies: Use a fork to flatten each dough ball, creating a criss-cross pattern on top of the cookies. This not only gives them a signature look but also helps them bake evenly.
-
Bake: Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 8-10 minutes. Keep an eye on them, as they will be done when the edges start to turn golden brown.
-
Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these simple, sweet, and protein-packed flourless peanut butter cookies! Perfect for a snack, a quick dessert, or a delightful treat any time of day.
