Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (250g) smooth peanut butter – The peanutty goodness of these cookies.
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar – Just the right amount of sweetness.
- 1 large egg – To hold everything together and make them chewy.
- 1 teaspoon baking soda – To make them rise slightly and soft.
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract – For extra flavor and a hint of vanilla.
- Pinch of salt (optional) – To bring out the flavors.
- Extra granulated sugar for rolling (optional) – For a sparkly crunch on the outside.
Instructions
