1 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky) 3/4 cup brown sugar 1 large egg 1 tsp vanilla extract 1/2 tsp baking soda Pinch of salt
Step 1
Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cookie release and cleanup later.
Step 2
In a bowl, mix peanut butter, brown sugar, egg, vanilla, baking soda, and salt until smooth and creamy like thick cookie dough.
Step 3
Scoop dough into small balls, place them on the baking sheet, and lightly press with a fork to create classic crisscross marks.
Step 4
Bake for 8-10 minutes until edges are set but centers look slightly underbaked for that soft, chewy, melt-in-your-mouth feel.
Step 5
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 6
Enjoy these peanut butter cookies warm, with milk or coffee, or pack them for a sweet snack anytime cravings strike.
Step 7
Soft, chewy, and rich with peanut flavor — these cookies are easy to make and even easier to fall in love with bite after bite!
Jamie’s style is Californian since the technique is rooted in traditional French cooking, but the flavors are inspired by Latin and Asian food and locally sourced ingredients.
