# Ingredients:

→ Cookie Base

01 - 1 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
02 - 1 cup sugar
03 - 1 egg
04 - 1 tsp vanilla extract

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment or silicone mat.
02 - In a bowl, combine peanut butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla. Mix until smooth and thick.
03 - Roll tablespoon-sized dough into balls. Place on baking sheet, 5 cm apart. Flatten with a fork in a crisscross pattern.
04 - Bake for 8–10 minutes until edges are set. Centers may appear soft but will firm up as they cool.
05 - Let cool 5 minutes on the sheet, then transfer to a wire rack.

# Notes:

01 - For chewier cookies, underbake slightly and cool on the baking sheet.
02 - Add chopped peanuts or chocolate chips for texture.
03 - Use monk fruit or coconut sugar for a low-sugar option.
