Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined.
-
Add the egg, vanilla extract, baking soda, and a pinch of salt to the bowl. Mix everything together until the cookie dough forms.
-
Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, scoop out portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
-
Use a fork to create a crisscross pattern on top of each cookie, gently pressing down to flatten the dough slightly.
-
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the cookies are lightly golden.
-
Once done, remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Enjoy your delicious Butterless Peanut Butter Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite hot beverage.
