Ingredients
š„ 1 cup peanut butter creamy
š¬ 1/2 cup light brown sugar
š„ 1 egg
š« (Optional) Chocolate for dipping
š§ (Optional) Sea salt for topping
Instructions
1- Mix the Ingredients:
- In a mixing bowl, combine š„ 1 cup of creamy peanut butter, š¬ 1/2 cup of light brown sugar, and š„ 1 egg.
- Stir the ingredients until you achieve a smooth, sticky dough.
2- Shape the Dough:
- Using your hands, roll the dough into individual balls, ensuring they are evenly sized for consistent baking.
3- Chill the Dough:
- Place the dough balls in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes. This step is essential for the dough to firm up and makes handling easier.
4- Preheat and Prepare:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.
5- Design the Cookies:
- Arrange the chilled dough balls on the prepared baking sheet.
- Wet a fork with cold water to avoid sticking, then gently press down on each dough ball to create a classic cross-hatch pattern.
6- Bake the Cookies:
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until they are gently golden and slightly puffed.
7- Cool Down:
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes. This helps the cookies set and firm up.
8- Optional Finishing Touch:
- For an extra touch, dip half of each cooled cookie into melted chocolate š« and sprinkle with sea salt š§ before letting them set on a cooling rack.
