Peanut Butter Cookies
This is the dessert I bring when someone invites me over for dinner and I want to feel useful without trying too hard.
Method
- 1.Preheat oven to 350ºF (180ºC).
- 2.In a large bowl, mix together the peanut butter, sugar, and egg.
- 3.Scoop out a spoonful of dough and roll it into a ball. Place the cookie balls onto a nonstick baking sheet.
- 4.For extra decoration and to make them cook more evenly, flatten the cookie balls by pressing a fork down on top of them, then press it down again at a 90º angle to make a criss-cross pattern.
- 5.Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the bottom of the cookies are golden brown.
- 6.Remove from baking sheet and cool.
- 7.Enjoy!
Notes
This scales up easily if you're cooking for more than one or two people. I sometimes double it just so I have lunch sorted.
The first time I made this I followed the steps word for word. Now I take my liberties. You will too, and that's the point.
