Ingrédients
  

  • 1 cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • ½ tsp baking soda (optional, for a softer texture)
  • pinch salt (if your peanut butter isn’t salted)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
  • In a bowl, mix the peanut butter and sugar together until smooth.
  • Add the egg and vanilla essence. Mix well until fully combined. You’ll have a thick dough.
  • Optional: Stir in the baking soda for a slightly softer texture.
  • Roll small balls of dough (about a tablespoon each) and place them on the tray, leaving space between each one.
  • Use a fork to gently press each ball flat in a criss-cross pattern.
  • Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the tray for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack.
