Ingredients:
1 cup (250g) smooth peanut butter
1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
A pinch of salt
Optional: Chocolate chips or chopped peanuts for topping
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Stir until well mixed.
Add Dry Ingredients: Sprinkle the baking soda and a pinch of salt over the mixture. Stir until the ingredients are fully combined.
Form the Cookies: Scoop out tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each ball slightly with a fork, creating a crisscross pattern.
Optional Toppings: If desired, press a few chocolate chips or chopped peanuts into the top of each cookie before baking.
Bake the Cookies: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are just starting to turn golden brown.
Cooling: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and Enjoy : Once cooled, serve the cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage.
