Equipment

  • 1 18x26" cookie sheet pan
  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • 1 spatula
  • 1 fork

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar for rolling the cookie dough balls in

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Spray cookie sheets with cooking spray.
  • Set aside.
  • Combine peanut butter, sugar and egg in a mixing bowl with a wooden spoon.
  • Pinch off a couple of tablespoons of dough and roll into balls.

Notes

NOTE: I was baking 3 to 4 racks of cookies at a time. My cookies took about 15-16 minutes to bake. I rotated the pans half way through the cooking time.
 
NOTE: If you’re only baking one batch of cookies at a time, these cookies may be done in 12 minutes. Adjust cooking time accordingly.
 
NOTE: These cookie are fragile. Handle delicately.
