Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg slightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • sugar for rolling dough in set aside in small bowl

Instructions

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • 2. Mix together the 1 cup of peanut butter and the 1 cup of sugar until well mixed.
  • 3. Add in the slightly beaten egg, baking powder and vanilla, and mix until completely combined.
  • 4. Roll about 1 Tablespoon of the dough into a ball.
  • 5. Roll the ball in the sugar you set aside in a small bowl, and place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
  • 6. Take a fork and press the cookie with a criss-cross pattern. This makes the traditional peanut butter cookie 'marks'.
  • 7. Bake for 7 to 10 minutes, depending on your oven.
  • 8. Let sit on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a metal rack for cooling.

Notes

I had to experiment with the cooking time. For my oven, 10 minutes was too long and 7 minutes was just right. It made them still chewy, which is how I like my peanut butter cookies to turn out.
Variation: Instead of rolling the dough in sugar, after making the criss cross pattern, sprinkle with a little sea salt.
