The ingredients you will need:

• 1 cup peanut butter

• 1cup granulated sugar (for a caramel flavor, use brown sugar)

• 1 large egg

Preheat the oven to 350℉ (175℃) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Mix the ingredients in a large bowl by hand or with a mixer until smooth and completely combined. For a more different flavor you can add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Scoop the dough into tablespoon-sized balls and place them on the baking sheet with a little space between them. (About two inches between each one). Make the pattern by dipping a fork in sugar and pressing it down on each ball, then pressing it again at an angle to create a classic crisscross pattern that flattens the cookie. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the edges look slightly dry and set. Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 2 to 3 minutes before moving them to a wire rack, as they are fragile when hot. If you don’t have a wire rack you can slide the parchment paper onto a cool counter or use common household substitutes for air flow.
