These chewy peanut butter cookies are a delightful treat, perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth. With a rich peanut butter flavor and a soft texture, they're sure to become a favorite.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper ensures the cookies won't stick and makes cleanup easier.
In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and brown sugar until smooth.
Ensure the peanut butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
Add the egg, baking soda, salt, and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until fully incorporated.
Mix until the dough is smooth and all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Scoop out small portions of dough and roll them into balls, about the size of a walnut. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.
Use a cookie scoop for uniform sizes and easier handling.
Press each ball lightly with a fork to create a crisscross pattern.
Dip the fork in water to prevent sticking.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, until they are set but still soft.
Do not overbake; the cookies will firm up as they cool.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Allowing the cookies to cool on the baking sheet helps them set properly.
Enjoy your delicious peanut butter cookies with your favorite beverage.
These cookies are perfect for sharing or as a quick snack.
