Ingredients

1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 large egg

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Add the peanut butter and brown sugar to a large mixing bowl and beat on medium-high speed until creamy, about 2 minutes.
Add in the egg, and beat on low until just combined.
Using a cookie scoop, scoop out tablespoon-sized balls onto the prepared pan.
Grease a fork and press down on each cookie ball twice, creating a crisscross design.
Bake in the preheated oven for 7 minutes or until the edges are just starting to brown. Remove from the oven, allow to cool on the pan for 1 to 2 minutes, then move the cookies to a cooling rack.
Enjoy them warm, or store them in an airtight container once cooled.

Notes

You can make the cookie dough and freeze it for baking later. Pop a handful of dough balls in the oven when a craving strikes, and you’ll always have a sweet treat on hand.
The cookie dough will also come together fairly easily if you want to mix it by hand rather than using an electric mixer.
Oven temperatures vary and may need to be recalibrated periodically to ensure they are accurate. Make sure to keep a close eye on your cookies as the suggested baking time approaches.
