Number Of Ingredients 3

1 cup peanut butter
1 ½ cups granulated sugar, (divided use)
1 large egg

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350F degrees and spray a large baking pan with sides with non-stick spray or line it with parchment paper and set aside.
Mix the peanut butter, 1 cup of the sugar and egg and stir to combine.
Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes.
When ready, pour the remaining ½ cup of sugar into a bowl.
Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, scoop out one-inch balls of dough and drop each into the sugar and roll them around to coat them. The dough will be soft so try not to handle it too much.
Place each ball on the cookie sheet evenly spaced. These cookies barely spread so no need to space them out a lot.
Press a fork into the cookies in a crosshatch pattern then bake them for 8-10 minutes or until they are fairly dry on top and the edges start to turn a light golden color.
Remove them from the oven and let them cool for at least 10 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Repeat the baking process with any remaining dough that you have and let the cookies cool in the same way before serving.
