Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine peanut butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Gradually mix in flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined.
  4. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  5. Use a fork to flatten each dough ball slightly and create a crisscross pattern on the top.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  7. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. To freeze, roll dough into balls and freeze for up to 3 months. Bake straight from frozen, adding an extra minute to the bake time. Microwave cookies for 10-15 seconds for that warm, fresh-baked feel.
