Looking for a delicious and easy recipe for a cozy afternoon snack or a sweet surprise for your loved ones? Look no further because we have the perfect solution for you – Crunchy Peanut Butter Cookies!

These cookies are more than just a treat; they are a delightful combination of crispy and creamy goodness. With just a few simple ingredients, you can whip up a batch of these delectable cookies in no time.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup of peanut butter
  • 1 cup of granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, sugar, egg, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
  3. Roll the dough into small balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
  4. Using a fork, press down on each cookie to create a crisscross pattern. This not only adds a visually appealing touch but also helps the cookies flatten and bake more evenly.
  5. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown around the edges.
  6. Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
  7. Enjoy your freshly baked Crunchy Peanut Butter Cookies with a glass of milk or a cup of tea. These cookies are perfect for a cozy afternoon snack or a sweet surprise for your loved ones.
