Method
- Step 1: Heat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment.
- Step 2: Mix the peanut butter, sugar and egg in a bowl until a smooth dough forms.
- Step 3: Roll into walnut-sized balls (about 25 g) and place them 5 cm apart on the tray.
- Step 4: Press each one with a fork in two directions to make the classic criss-cross pattern.
- Step 5: Bake for 9–11 minutes, until the edges are just golden — the centers will still be soft.
- Step 6: Cool on the tray for 10 minutes; the cookies firm up as they cool.
