- 1 large Egg Binds ingredients together for a perfect chewy texture.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Cook/Assemble
- In the mixing bowl, add peanut butter, sugar, and egg.
- Using the fork, blend all ingredients until smooth and well combined. The mixture should feel sticky, yet cohesive.
- Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each for spreading.
- Using a fork, gently press down each cookie to flatten it slightly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden.

- Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely, ensuring they maintain their chewy texture.
- Serve warm or store in an airtight container if not enjoyed immediately.
Notes
For a slightly firmer cookie, chill the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes before baking. Mix in a pinch of salt to elevate the flavors even more.
