Total Time13 minutes
Course: Cookies
Servings: 12

Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter Classic-style peanut butter is more dependable in this recipe (i.e. Jif, Peter Pan, Skippy. Natural peanut butters may not work as well in this recipe.)

  • 1/4 white sugar
  • 2 t vanilla extract
  • 1/2 t baking soda
  • 1/2 t salt

  • Form into 2-Tablespoon mounds and place mounds on a large plate. You will get around 12 mounds.
  • Cover the plate with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at at least 3 hours. (The chilling process is crucial. Do not bake the dough warm.)
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a baking sheet with cooking spray or use parchment paper.
  • Place mounds on greased baking sheet at least 2 inches apart. Lightly flatten the mounds. Bake for 8 minutes or until edges are set and top is just set. (Do not over bake. These cookies will firm up when they cool)
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes.
  • Enjoy!
