Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- Optional: 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine peanut butter, sugar, and egg. Mix until well combined. If using, stir in chocolate chips.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
- Use a fork to press down on each cookie, creating a crisscross pattern.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For softer cookies, bake for a shorter time. For chewier cookies, bake a little longer.
- Ensure your peanut butter is creamy and well-stirred for the best texture.
- Kids can help roll the dough into balls and press the fork pattern.
- These cookies are naturally gluten-free.
