Ingredients

  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, optional

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, combine peanut butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract, if using until well blended.
  • Using a teaspoon or small ice cream scoop, drop dough two inches apart on a ungreased baking sheet. 
  • Using tines of a fork dipped in sugar, press on top of each dough in a criss-cross pattern.
  • Bake in a 350 F oven for about 10 minutes or until lightly browned.
  • Remove from oven and allow to slightly cool. Transfer to a rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use a small ice cream scoop to portion out the dough for uniform sizes. Roll in the palm of your hands into balls to make the baked edges smooth and even.
  • If the dough is too soft to hold shape, refrigerate for a few minutes to chill and firm up.
  • Press down on the dough using the tines of a fork to flatten and add a criss-cross design.
