Peanut butter cookie

Here’s a simple, classic peanut butter cookie recipe—soft in the center, slightly crisp on the edges.

🥜 Peanut Butter Cookies

Ingredients

• 1 cup (250 g) peanut butter
• 1 cup (200 g) sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
• A pinch of salt (if peanut butter is unsalted)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, mix peanut butter, sugar, egg, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
3. Roll dough into small balls (about 1 tablespoon each).
4. Place on the tray and gently flatten with a fork in a crisscross pattern.
5. Bake for 8–10 minutes until edges are lightly golden.
6. Let them cool on the tray for 5 minutes (they firm up as they cool).

Tips

• For softer cookies, slightly underbake them.
• For extra flavor, add chocolate chips or drizzle melted chocolate on top.
• Crunchy peanut butter gives a more textured cookie.

If you want, I can also give you a low-sugar version, eggless version, or a chewy bakery-style recipe.
