Simple Peanut Butter Cookies
Mix together:
1 egg
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup of sugar
Drop onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet by the spoonful. They will come out looking better if you roll the dough into one inch balls first.
Take a fork and squish the balls down once then again perpendicular to the original lines to make a crosshatch pattern shown in the image.
Bake for 10 – 12 minutes at 350º
