Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract optional
  • 1/2 tsp salt optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Combine sugar, peanut butter, egg, vanilla (if using) and salt (if using) in a medium bowl and stir until smooth. Refrigerate dough for 30 minutes. Roll dough into 1-inch balls with your hands and place onto prepared baking sheets.
  • Press the bottom of a fork into each dough ball in a criss-cross pattern (grease the fork, if needed). Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.

Notes

  • Freeze dough for later use, if desired. Double wrap in plastic wrap or a ziploc bag and freeze for up to 6 months.
  • This is a great dessert to make for people who enjoy a gluten-free diet.
  • Add a mashed banana to the batter to add flavor, if desired.
  • Chocolate chips or peanut butter chips can easily be added to the cookie batter.
  • If you don't love the idea of cleaning out a measuring cup with PB stuck inside it, eyeball the amount you add to the bowl. One cup is just a recommendation and you really won't be able to mess these easy cookies up.
