How to Make Yummy 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 the peanut butter and sugars until smooth.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Place them onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  7. Using a fork, flatten each cookie ball into a criss-cross pattern.
  8. Optional: Place a Hershey's Kiss in the center of each cookie before baking.
  9. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
