Préparation
 

Preparation
  1. Clear your counter and gather all your ingredients. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lay down parchment paper on a baking sheet.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, scoop out your peanut butter and granulated sugar. Stir them together until fully blended.
  3. Crack your large egg into the mixture, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix well until fully incorporated.
  4. Sprinkle in the baking soda and salt. Mix until smooth with no dry patches.
  5. Scoop portions of dough with a tablespoon and roll them into balls, leaving space between each on the baking sheet.
  6. Gently flatten each ball with a fork to create a crisscross pattern.
Baking
  1. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are browning.
  2. Remove from the oven and cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  3. Let them cool completely on the wire rack before enjoying.

Notes et conservation

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for about a week, or freeze for up to three months. Reheat in the microwave for a few seconds to restore softness.
