Let’s Get Baking!
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup creamy peanut butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1 large egg. Mix well.
- Roll tablespoon-sized portions of the dough into balls.
- Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about an inch between each.
- Flatten each ball slightly with your hand, then use a fork to create a crisscross pattern on top.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy! These are best enjoyed fresh, but trust me, they won’t last long!
Fun Variations
- Chocolate Lover’s Delight: Add 1/4 cup cocoa powder to the dough for a rich chocolate flavor.
- Nutty Crunch: Stir in 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, almonds, etc.) for added texture and flavor.
- Cinnamon Spice: Sprinkle ground cinnamon over the dough before baking for a warm, cozy treat.
Feel free to experiment and create your own unique flavor combinations!
