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:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- With an electric mixer, blend together all the ingredients until combined, smooth, and thick, 2-3 minutes.
- Using a heaping tablespoon cookie scoop, form dough into 1 1/4-inch balls with the palms of your hands.
- Transfer to the prepared baking sheet 2 inches apart.
- Press down with the back of a fork and then press again from the opposite direction, to form a criss-cross pattern on top.
- 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.
- Remove from oven and let cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely and firm up.
- Enjoy with a tall glass of cold milk!
