Instructions:
  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) for even baking.

  3. Step 3: Scoop the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Step 4: Flatten each cookie with a fork, creating a crisscross pattern.

Notes

  • For a healthier option, use natural peanut butter.
  • Try substituting granulated sugar with brown sugar for a richer flavor.
  • For a vegan version, replace the egg with a flax egg.
