Ingredients
- 1 cup natural peanut butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Coarse sea salt
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and place racks in the upper and lower third of the oven.
In a medium bowl, mix the peanut butter, sugar, egg and vanilla until well combined. Spoon 1 tablespoon of mixture about 1 inch apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Flatten the mounds with the tines of a fork, making a crosshatch pattern on the cookies. Sprinkle coarse salt on top of the cookies.
Bake until golden around edges, about 10 minutes, switching the position of the pans halfway thorough baking. Transfer to racks to cool. Repeat with the remaining dough.
What Makes This Recipe Really Sing: Without the flour getting in the way, you really get that true peanut butter flavor.
BYOC: Try tossing in mini versions of stuff. I love peanut butter chips, mini chocolate chips, shredded coconut and even a mini peanut butter cup. Try making a thumb print cookie and add jelly to it. Go crazy, kids and adults love these.

Deelish! This recipe is a keeper. A bit too sweet (hence 4 stars and not 5 but perhaps the sugar helps hold them together. Be sure to use crunchy all natural PB - others are too runny. Don't skip the salt sprinkle on top. It adds that wonderful sweet & salty combination. Can't wait to experiment with thumbprint jelly version or adding dark chocolate chips. Try these - you won't be sorry!

When I found the recipe, I had no idea how good it can be. Not sure I will ever make another recipe of Peanut Butter cookies again. These are by far the best I have ever eaten and probably the easiest. Took them to work and everyone loved them! After reading reviews i did cut back on sugar and added some baking soda. so easy and sooooooooo good.
