5 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°. Line a large baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Set aside.

Step 2

In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, beat the peanut butter, white sugar, and brown sugar together on high until creamy and smooth, 2-3 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and mix until combined.

Step 3

Using a heaping tablespoon, spoon the dough and roll into 1 1/4-inch balls. Place on prepared cookie sheet and place approximately 2-3 inches apart. Use a fork to press the cookies down, creating a cross-hatch pattern.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated 350 degree oven for about 8 minutes.

Step 5

Allow cookies to finish cooling completely on baking sheet before removing. Store in an airtight container.
