Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (250g) creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated white sugar
  • 1 large (50g) egg, room temperature

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, sugar, and egg. Mix until the ingredients merge into a smooth, thick paste with no streaks of egg remaining.
  3. Scoop approximately 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a 1-inch ball.
  4. Place the balls on the baking sheet and press down with a fork in a criss-cross motion to create a crosshatch pattern.
  5. Bake for 8–10 minutes. Remove the cookies from the oven the moment the edges turn mahogany-colored.
  6. Allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for a few minutes to firm up before transferring.
