✨ 5 ingredient peanut butter cookies ✨

Peanut butter cookies are a popular treat known for their rich, nutty flavor and chewy texture. This simple recipe requires just 5 ingredients: 1 cup of peanut butter, 1 egg, 1/2 cup of sugar, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (about 175°C). In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, egg, and sugars. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well blended. Add the vanilla extract and whisk until smooth. Next, roll the dough into small balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Flatten each ball slightly with a fork, creating a crisscross pattern for that classic cookie look. Bake the cookies in the oven for about 10-13 minutes, or until they turn lightly golden brown. Once done, let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. These cookies are not only easy to make but also great for meal prep, allowing you to enjoy them throughout the week. Perfect for cookie lovers looking for quick and tasty snacks!
