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:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. 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.
  3. Scoop rounded tablespoons (approx. 1.5 inches) of dough and roll them into smooth spheres.
  4. 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.
  5. Bake for 10 minutes until the edges are golden and the kitchen smells like toasted caramel
  6. 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.
