Steps

1 Done 5 min	Preheat the oven and prepare the baking sheet Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray it with cooking spray. This will prevent the cookies from sticking to the pan and make them easier to remove. You can also use a silicone baking mat if you have one.
2 Done 5 min	Make the cookie dough In a large bowl, add the peanut butter, sugar and egg. Stir well with a wooden spoon or an electric mixer until everything is well combined and smooth. The dough should be thick and sticky. You can also add some chocolate chips, chopped nuts, sea salt or any other toppings you like to the dough for extra flavor and texture.
3 Done 10 min	Shape and bake the cookies Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop about 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them. You should get about 16 cookies. Flatten them slightly with your fingers or a fork, making a crisscross pattern on top. Bake them in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until they are lightly golden around the edges. They will still be soft in the center but will firm up as they cool.
4 Done 5 min	Cool and Enjoy Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely or enjoy them while they are still warm. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
