Preparation Steps

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with nonstick spray.
• In a bowl, combine peanut butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until well mixed.
• Refrigerate dough for 1-2 hours if desired for prettier cookies, or scoop directly for quicker baking.
• Shape dough into 1-inch balls and place on prepared baking sheet.
• Flatten each ball with a fork to create a criss-cross pattern.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden.
• Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
