Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 0.75 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • coarse sugar for rolling

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicon baking mat.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix the peanut butter and the sugar together until the mixture is smooth and lightly fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the egg and mix to combine. Add the baking soda, salt, and vanilla extract and mix to combine.
  3. Roll 1 tablespoon of dough in your hand to make a ball and then roll the ball in coarse sugar before placing the ball of dough on a baking sheet.
  4. If you want a chewier cookie bake for 10 minutes and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing. If you'd like a crunchier cookie bake for 12 to 13 minutes.

Notes

I like to place the cookies on a baking sheet and freeze until solid so they won’t stick to each other in the freezer. Then, place in an airtight container with parchment between each layer. The taste is best if eaten in 3 months in the freezer-but mine usually don’t last that long.
