Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, sugar, and egg. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.

Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.

Flatten each ball slightly with a fork, creating a crisscross pattern on the top.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.

Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

For best results, make certain your peanut butter is well-stirred and not too oily; this will help guarantee the cookies hold their shape.

If you want to add a little flair, consider mixing in chocolate chips or chopped nuts for extra texture and flavor.

Enjoy your homemade peanut butter cookies!
