Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup granulated sugar
Leavening and Flavoring Agents:
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350F (175C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal non-stick surface.
- Blend peanut butter, sugar, egg, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl until the mixture achieves a smooth, consistent texture.
- Craft small, uniform dough spheres and carefully position them on the prepared baking sheet, maintaining adequate spacing between each.
- Gently press each dough ball using a fork’s tines, creating an elegant crisscross pattern that adds visual appeal and helps even baking.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, monitoring until the edges turn a delicate golden hue.
- After removing from the oven, allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, enabling them to set and firm up slightly.
- Carefully transfer the cookies to a wire cooling rack, permitting them to cool completely and develop their final crisp texture.
- Serve and savor these delightful, freshly baked peanut butter treats.
Notes
- Create bite-sized portions by using a mini muffin tin for consistent, adorable poppers that are perfect for parties or snacking.
- Experiment with different nut butters like almond or cashew butter to add unique flavor profiles and accommodate various dietary preferences.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular flour with almond flour or a gluten-free baking mix to make the recipe celiac-friendly.
- Enhance the sweetness by adding a drizzle of honey or sprinkle of cinnamon before baking to elevate the cornbread’s traditional flavor.
