Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment.
  2. Stir the egg, peanut butter and sugar together until smooth and well blended.
  3. Roll golf-ball-size portions into smooth balls and space them 1-2 inches apart on the sheet.
  4. Press each ball with the back of a fork, then rotate 90 degrees and press again for a criss-cross pattern.
  5. Bake about 12 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the sheet a few minutes before moving; they firm up as they cool.

Notes

Remember 1 + 1 + 1. Store in an airtight container.
