Peanut butter cookies

Baking again on Saturday evening. I volunteered myself to do the baking for the Sunday morning running group that I am part of. The last time I went running, one of the guys made some peanut  butter cookies that I liked. So I thought I might try and make some myself. They are ridiculously easy to make, with only four ingredients

Ingredients

1 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg, lightly beaten

Directions

1.Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C

2. In a  bowl, mix the peanut butter, sugar, vanilla and egg until well combined.

3. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the mixture about 1 inch apart onto ungreased baking sheets.

4. Flatten the mounds with the tines of a fork, making a crosshatch pattern on the cookies.

5. Bake until golden around the edges, about 10 minutes,

6. Transfer to racks to cool.

7. Repeat with the remaining dough.

    I love how easy this recipe is! I’m not great at baking cookies (yet) so a short list of ingredients is always a plus for me. Would you say these cookies are quite crunchy or are they more the chewy kind. Just curious to know. Cheers for sharing the recipe!

      Thanks. They are chewy. I actually halved the amount of sugar the original recipe said 1 cup of sugar but many of the people in the reviews said this was perhaps too much. And when I looked at other websites with the same ingredient list the feeling about the sugar content was the same. All experimentation I guess! Yes, I would love to join and share recipes. All part of the fun

        I love experimenting, and like you I also always read reviews haha (one can never read too many reviews if you ask me!). Will definitely be giving these a go. Cool, hope to see you there!
