Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Stir together peanut butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla in a bowl until a smooth dough forms.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll dough into 1-inch balls and coat each in extra sugar. Place on parchment-lined baking sheets and press with a fork in a crosshatch pattern.
  3. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until edges are set and light golden. Cool on the sheet for 5 minutes.
  4. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.

Notes

If the dough feels too sticky to roll, chill it for 10 to 15 minutes. Any leftover sugar from rolling the balls can be reused for the fork dips. The cookies will be fragile right out of the oven, so handle them gently during transfer.
