ingredients
- 1 cup regular smooth peanut butter
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated white sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Sea salt or white sugar, to garnish
Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Step 2
To make dough: In a bowl with a large spoon, mix together peanut butter, brown sugar, white sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until uniform.
Step 3
To form balls: On a greased baking sheet, use a tablespoon measure to form balls of dough, adding them to the baking sheet at least a ½ inch apart. Use a fork to push down balls of dough to desired cookie thickness, making pretty cross-cross marks on each cookie!
Step 4
To bake: Bake cookies for 8-9 minutes until cookies are dull (not shiny) and just set. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with salt or sugar. Let cool on baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a plate or wire rack.
