Ingredients
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar. Mix well until smooth.
Add the vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract to the peanut butter mixture. Stir until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined and a dough forms.
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Using a fork, gently press down on each ball to create a crisscross pattern.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
