Ingredients
- 1 cup natural peanut butter, smooth or crunchy
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Using a hand or stand mixer, mix
the peanut butter, sugar, egg and vanilla on low speed until well combined. (if too sticky, can add 2-4 Tbsp. all-purpose flour, but they won't be gluten-free...)
3. Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop
about 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough 1 1/2-inches apart onto the baking sheet. If
you don't have a cookie scoop, drop the dough with a spoon.
4. Flatten the dough balls the tines
of a fork, making a cross pattern on the cookies.
5. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes
until they are golden around the edges. Allow the cookies to rest on the
counter for 2 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
