peanut butter cookies

Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for classic peanut butter cookies that are soft, chewy, and full of flavor!

Peanut Butter Cookies

Ingredients:

• 1 cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix Ingredients:
   • In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, sugar, egg, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt. Mix until well combined and smooth.
3. Shape the Cookies:
   • Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
4. Flatten:
   • Using a fork, gently press down on each cookie to create a crisscross pattern.
5. Bake:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The cookies will look slightly underbaked but will firm up as they cool.
6. Cool:
   • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy!
