Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 cup | Peanut Butter |
| 1 cup | Sugar |
| 1 | Egg |
| 1 1/2 tsp | Baking Soda |
Instructions:
-
Cream together peanut butter and sugar.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and sugar until well blended. The mixture should be smooth and creamy, with no lumps of sugar remaining.
-
Add egg and baking soda and mix thoroughly.
- Crack the egg into the peanut butter and sugar mixture, then add the baking soda. Mix everything together until fully incorporated. The dough should be slightly sticky but hold its shape when rolled into balls.
-
Roll into 1 inch balls and drop onto cookie sheet.
- Take small portions of the dough and roll them into 1-inch balls between the palms of your hands. Place the balls on a parchment-lined or greased cookie sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading while baking.
-
Using the back of a spoon, flatten in a cross-hatch pattern.
- Lightly grease the back of a spoon or dip it in sugar to prevent sticking, then gently press down on each dough ball to flatten it slightly. Create a cross-hatch pattern by pressing the spoon down again in the opposite direction, forming a crisscross design on the surface of the cookies.
-
Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 12-15 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once heated, place the cookie sheet in the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges. Keep an eye on them towards the end of the baking time to prevent over-browning.
-
Cool and Enjoy!
- Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, indulge in the irresistible goodness of these world-class peanut butter cookies! 🌟
