Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Servings 12 -15 cookies

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup granulated sugar, plus more for rolling
  • 1 cup salted peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
  • 1 large egg

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl stir all three ingredients together until smooth.
  • For each cookie, scoop 2 tablespoons of dough, shape into a smooth ball, then roll in granulated sugar.
  • Arrange the balls of dough on your cookie sheet about one inch apart. (They won't spread.)
  • Using a fork, flatten each ball of dough in one direction, then press again in the opposite direction to form that classic criss-cross pattern.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes, until starting to lightly brown at the edges. Let cool on the tray for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to finish cooling.
  • Store your peanut butter cookies in an air-tight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
