How to Make Best Peanut Butter Cookies

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
2. In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 cup creamy peanut butter.
3. Gradually add 1 large egg, mixing until just combined. The dough will be quite thick.
4. Add more granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough is no longer sticky and is easy to roll into balls. (You may not need all of the remaining sugar).
5. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
6. Place the balls onto an ungreased baking sheet.
7. Use a fork to flatten each cookie ball into a criss-cross pattern.
8. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Avoid overbaking for that signature soft and chewy texture.
9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
