How to Make Almost Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the peanut butter and brown sugar until smooth and well combined.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until thoroughly incorporated.
  4. Gradually add the baking soda and salt, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in the oats (if using).
  6. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  7. Use a fork to flatten each cookie slightly, creating a criss-cross pattern.
  8. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Avoid overbaking, as this will make them too hard.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
