Peanut Butter Cookies
PB Cookies
I love these simple and quick peanut butter cookies. I'm a big PB guy, so my bar is low to get a win with PB in my judgement. Follow the steps below to make these easy treats. My favorite part is making the pattern in the middle of the cookies right before you bake them.
Arrange two racks to divide the oven into thirds and heat the oven to 350℉. Lined 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
Place 1 cup smooth peanut butter, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1 large egg in a large bowl. Mix with a flexible spatula until well-combined.
Step 3
Scoop the dough out into 24 (level 1-tablespoon) portions. Roll into balls. Place the dough balls at least 2 inches apart on the baking sheets, 12 per sheet. Flatten each dough ball with a fork until about 2 inches wide and 1/4-inch thick, creating a crosshatch pattern.
Step 4
Bake for 5 minutes. Rotate the baking sheets between racks and from front to back. Bake until the centers are set, the cookies are lightly puffed, and the edges are firm, 5 to 7 minutes more. Let cool completely on the baking sheets, about 30 minutes. The cookies will firm up as they cool.
