Description
Delight in the rich, nutty flavor of thick and chewy peanut butter cookies, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
- Sprinkle in the baking powder and salt, gently mixing until incorporated.
- Drop tablespoon-sized scoops of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Use a fork to flatten each scoop slightly, making crisscross patterns.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are set and lightly golden.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
For a vegan option, use a flax egg or applesauce instead of egg. Chilling the dough helps maintain shape and achieve perfect bake.
