Yield Makes about a dozen

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 large egg
1 cup sugar, plus more for sprinkling
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional)
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together peanut butter, egg, sugar, baking soda, vanilla, if using, and salt until well combined.
  • Using a 1 3/4-inch scoop, scoop dough onto prepared baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart. Using the tines of a fork, gently press down on each scoop in a crosshatch pattern. Sprinkle with sugar and transfer baking sheet to oven. Bake until slightly puffed, 11 to 12 minutes. Cookies will still be soft. Let cool for 5 minutes. Carefully transfer cookies to a wire rack and let cool completely.
