Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (or a sugar substitute like stevia)
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Make Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, sugar, and egg. Mix with a paddle attachment or whisk until well combined. The dough should be soft and easy to scoop.
- Shape Cookies: Use a small ice cream scoop or your hands to form the dough into balls about the size of a golf ball. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Flatten Cookies: Use a fork to press down on each cookie ball, creating a criss-cross pattern.
- Bake: Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Do not overbake.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheets before transferring them to a wire rack.
Notes
- Peanut Butter: Creamy peanut butter is recommended for the best texture.
- Sugar: You can use a granulated sugar substitute, but it may alter the texture and taste.
- Egg-Free: Use a flax egg as an egg substitute.
- Baking Time: Watch closely to prevent over-baking.
- Cooling: Cookies will firm up as they cool.
