Ingredients
  

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Mix the Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well integrated.

      Add Egg and Vanilla: Crack the egg into the bowl and pour in the vanilla extract. Mix again until everything is thoroughly combined, forming a sticky dough.

        Shape Cookies: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

          Flatten and Create Patterns: Using a fork, gently press down on each cookie ball to flatten slightly, creating a crisscross pattern on the top.

            Bake the Cookies: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers might look slightly underbaked; that’s okay! They will continue to firm up as they cool.

              Cool and Enjoy: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to rest on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
