Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 tsp baking powder

Notes

Storage: Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. For longer storage, freeze for up to 3 months. Make-Ahead: The dough can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 2 days before baking. Variations: Add 1/2 cup of chocolate chips or chopped peanuts to the dough for extra texture. For a salted twist, sprinkle flaky sea salt on top before baking. Serve with a glass of cold milk or as part of a cookie platter.
