Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Spatula/turner
  • Mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Peanut butter
  • 1 cup White sugar
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  • Help your little chef add all the ingredients to a mixing bowl, then use an electric mixer to beat until everything is completely combined.
  • Scoop out a spoonful of the dough and roll it into a ball. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each cookie.
  • Press the back of a fork into the ball, flattening into a disk. Press the fork again into the cookie, changing it’s position to create a crosshatch pattern.
  • Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes, or until the bottoms of the cookies are slightly browned.
  • Let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the pan, then transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
  • Enjoy with a big glass of milk!
