Categories     Drop Cookies

Time 13m

Yield 24 cookies, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup peanut butter (any kind)
1 cup sugar
1 egg, large
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Combine the three ingredients, stirring until well blended.
  • If using the chocolate chips, stir in now.
  • Form dough into small balls, using about a tablespoon of dough.
  • Place 12 balls on a cookie sheet, evenly spaced. (I like to line my cookie sheets with parchment paper) Using a fork, press the tines across the ball to flatten and make a criss-cross pattern.
  • Bake about 6-8 minutes, or until lightly browned.
  • Remove cookie sheet from oven and let sit for a couple of minutes before removing the cookies. They are very delicate when hot and will crumble if you try to remove them too soon.
  • Set cookies on rack to cool.

Tips:

  • Use creamy peanut butter for a smooth and velvety cookie texture.
  • Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading.
  • Don't overmix the cookie dough, as this will make the cookies tough.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just beginning to brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
