Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Stir the ingredients together until smooth.
- Roll into 1" balls with your hands. Press down with the back of a fork and then press again from the opposite direction, to form the criss-cross pattern on top.
- Bake for 12 minutes and then let cool on the tray for 1-2 minutes before removing to a wire rack to finish cooling.
NOTE:
- You can remove 2 tablespoons of peanut butter from the "cup" listed in the recipe to get a slightly less dense cookie.
- You can reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe if the peanut butter you are using is already very sweet to get a less sweet cookie.
- You can add a bit of vanilla extract to the recipe for a cookie with added flavor.
- You can add an extra egg to the recipe for a puffier cookies. But you'll need to scoop dough on to cookie sheet (instead of making balls).
FUN IDEAS:
- Add some chocolate chips to the mix.
- Frost with Nutella
- Put some ice cream between two cookies to make a sandwich cookie.
