- 1 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
- 1 cup sugar (see note)
- 1 large egg
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Stir together all three ingredients in a large bowl with a wooden spoon or spatula until smooth.
Scoop desired size dough balls onto cookie sheet. Press flat with the back of a fork. The dough is sticky, so either dip your fork in sugar or lightly wet it so the dough doesn't stick.
