Ingredients:
- 1 cup (250g) creamy or crunchy peanut butter
- 1 cup (200g) granulated white sugar
- 1 large (50g) egg, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, sugar, and egg. Use a sturdy spatula to vigorously fold the ingredients until the mixture transforms into a cohesive, shiny ball that pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
- Scoop rounded tablespoons (approx. 1.5 inches) of dough and roll them into smooth spheres.
- Place spheres 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Use the tines of a fork to press a criss-cross pattern into each ball, flattening them to 1/2-inch thickness.
- Bake for 10 minutes until the edges are golden and the kitchen smells like toasted caramel
- Immediately upon removal from the oven, sprinkle each hot cookie with flaky sea salt. Allow to cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
