Ingredients:

Direction:

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare a baking sheet by greasing it with olive oil.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of creamy peanut butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Mix well until the sugar is fully incorporated into the peanut butter.

3. Add 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the peanut butter mixture. Mix everything together until well combined.

4. Gradually add 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour to the mixture. Stir until the flour is fully incorporated and a dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky.

5. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, scoop out small portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each one.

6. Use a fork to gently press down on each ball, creating a criss-cross pattern on the top of the cookie.

7. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.

8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

9. Enjoy your delicious and easy homemade peanut butter cookies! You can store them in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
