Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Stir the peanut butter, sugar, and egg together in a bowl until a thick dough forms.
  3. Roll the dough into walnut-sized balls and space them out on the sheet.
  4. Flatten each ball with a fork in a crisscross pattern.

Notes

Use a no-stir peanut butter for the most reliable texture.
