Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter natural, unsweetened recommended
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar or coconut sugar
  • 1 large egg

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, sugar, and egg until a smooth, stiff dough forms.
  3. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared sheet.
  4. Flatten each ball gently with a fork, creating a crosshatch pattern.
  5. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  6. Allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Ensure you use regular peanut butter (not "natural" with separated oil) for the best texture, or stir thoroughly.
  • For a vegan version, substitute the egg with a flax egg (1 tbsp flax + 3 tbsp water).
  • Do not overbake; they will continue to set as they cool.
