4 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies The Foolproof 20Minute Fix

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the peanut butter and granulated sugar until evenly mixed. Continue mixing until the mixture begins to come together.
3. Add the large egg and the salt. Mix well until a cohesive, thick dough forms. Do not overmix once the dough is uniform.
4. Scoop the dough into balls, approximately 1.5 tablespoons each, and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
5. Use the tines of a fork to gently flatten each dough ball, pressing once vertically and once horizontally to create the traditional crosshatch pattern.
6. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. The cookies should appear slightly golden on the edges and still look soft in the centre.
7. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a full 5 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to finish cooling. They firm up significantly during this rest period.
