Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup creamy full-fat peanut butter ((*see note))
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instruction:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. With an electric mixer, blend together all the ingredients until combined, smooth, and thick, 2-3 minutes.
  3. Using a heaping tablespoon cookie scoop, form dough into 1 1/4-inch balls with the palms of your hands.
  4. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet 2 inches apart.
  5. Press down with the back of a fork and then press again from the opposite direction, to form a criss-cross pattern on top.
  6. Bake for about 10 minutes or until the tops are lightly brown and they are about 3 inches wide (all ovens run differently.) They will still be slightly soft if you press on them hot from the oven.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely and firm up.
  8. Enjoy with a tall glass of cold milk!
