Ingredients
Scale
Peanut Butter Cookies:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the Dough: In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt until smooth. Fold in the mini chocolate chips if desired.
- Shape and Bake: Roll tablespoon-sized portions of dough into balls and place them on the baking sheet. Flatten each ball with a fork, creating a crisscross pattern. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the edges are set but centers are still slightly soft.
- Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- These cookies are naturally gluten-free.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- For extra crunch, use chunky peanut butter instead of creamy.
