Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Creamy peanut butter Provides rich flavor and chewy texture.
  • 1 cup Granulated sugar Adds sweetness and helps achieve a golden color.
  • 1 large Egg Acts as a binder for the cookies.
  • 1/2 cup Chocolate chips Optional, for added sweetness and texture.

Equipment

Method
 

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

  3. Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Press each cookie with a fork to create a crisscross pattern.
