Ingredients
- 1 cup (8 oz/225 g) granulated sugar, plus more for rolling
- 1 cup (8 oz/225 g) salted peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
- 1 large egg
Notes
- We like the tender, crumbly texture from using granulated sugar, but you can make these with brown sugar for something softer and chewier.
- Either smooth or crunchy peanut butter will work for these easy peanut butter cookies, but for the best results, we highly recommend that you use the emulsified kind of peanut butter such as Jif brand or Skippy brand that you grow up on.
- If you have a peanut allergy, these cookies can be made with almond or any other nut or seed butter. Be sure that the alternative butter thst you use has been made in a facility that uses safe manufacturing processes to avoid cross contamination with peanuts.
- If you love chocolate and peanut butter as much as we do, you can add 1 1/2 cups (9 oz/255 g) chocolate chips to this recipe or check out our Bakery Style Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies and our Unbeatable Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies!
