How to Make Easy To Make Peanut Butter Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup creamy peanut butter, ½ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup packed brown sugar, and 1 large egg.
  3. Add 1 teaspoon baking soda and mix until thoroughly combined. The dough will be quite thick.
  4. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
  5. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  6. Use a fork to press down on each cookie ball in a criss-cross pattern.
  7. Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the bottoms are set. For softer cookies, remove at 8 minutes; for crispier cookies, bake for the full 12 minutes.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
