- Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Mix Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and baking soda. Stir until well combined and smooth.
- Shape the Cookies:
- Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a fork, making a crisscross pattern.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers might look a bit soft, but they will firm up as they cool.
- Cool:
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips for Success:
- Peanut Butter: Make sure to use creamy peanut butter for a smoother texture. If you use chunky peanut butter, the cookies will have a bit more texture.
- Sugar: Adjust the amount of sugar based on your taste preference. If you prefer slightly less sweet cookies, you can reduce the sugar a little.
- Baking Soda: This ingredient helps the cookies rise and become soft. Don’t skip it!
These cookies are quick to make and incredibly delicious, with a rich peanut butter flavor that’s sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. Enjoy your baking! 🍪🥜
