Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter All-natural peanut butter is NOT recommended. Use a regular commercial brand (Skippy, Jiff, store brand)
- 1 cup white granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉.
- Add the above ingredients into a bowl and stir well to combine.
- This recipe makes 15 to 18 cookies. Good-sized cookies too!
- If you would like to add chocolate chips to some of your cookies, just add them on top of the dough balls before you flatten them. It's the easiest way to make just a few chocolate chip peanut butter cookies!
- Dip your fork into sugar then press the cookie dough ball to create the traditional crisscross pattern. The sugar gives you that little crunch on top.
- Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until just starting to brown on the bottom. Watch closely!
- Place on a wire rack to cool and then enjoy!

Notes
This is a small enough batch that I sometimes make it in my toaster oven! If you want to try that, decrease the heat to 325 and watch carefully to see when they are done - they often are done a couple of minutes earlier.
