How to Make Gourmet Magazine's Easy Peanut Butter Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup creamy peanut butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  3. In a small bowl, lightly beat 1 large egg. Add the egg, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt to the peanut butter mixture. Beat until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  5. Use a fork to flatten each ball, creating a criss-cross pattern.
  6. Bake for 12-13 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the cookies are puffed.
  7. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 1-2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
