Ingredients

- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake for 7 minutes or until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using crunchy peanut butter instead of creamy. You can also substitute brown sugar for half of the granulated sugar to add depth. If you prefer a less sweet cookie, reduce the sugar by a couple of tablespoons. Ensure your egg is at room temperature for better mixing.
Serving Suggestions
These cookies are delightful on their own but can be paired with a glass of milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat. They also complement a warm bowl of Tomato Soup Salad(Cheese Ring) for a comforting meal. Enjoy them as a snack or dessert after any meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer bag. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes until warm.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use natural peanut butter for this recipe?
Yes, you can use natural peanut butter, but be aware that it may result in a slightly different texture due to the oil separation. Just make sure to stir the peanut butter well before measuring.
What can I do if the dough is too sticky?
If the dough is too sticky, you can add a little more sugar or a tablespoon of flour to help with the consistency. Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking can also make it easier to handle.
Are there any vegan alternatives for this recipe?
To make this recipe vegan, substitute the egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons water) or applesauce. The texture will be slightly different, but it will still yield delicious cookies.
