Ingredients
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, egg, baking soda, vanilla extract, and salt.
Mix the ingredients together until a smooth dough forms.
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Use a fork to gently flatten each ball, creating a crisscross pattern on top.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
