Irresistible Oven-Baked Peanut Butter Cookies

Ingredients

- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 large egg

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it's ready for baking.

2. Mix Ingredients:
In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of peanut butter, 1 cup of sugar, and 1 large egg. Stir the ingredients together until you have a smooth, cohesive dough.

3. Prepare Baking Sheet:
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.

4. Form Cookies:
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, measure out portions of the dough. Roll each portion into a ball with your hands and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

5. Flatten and Shape:
Using the tines of a fork, gently press down on each ball of dough to create a crisscross pattern on the top. This will help flatten the cookies slightly.

6. Bake:
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden brown.

7. Cool:
Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 2 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
