Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Warm the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to ensure a non-stick surface.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, blend together peanut butter, granulated sugar, egg, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt until the mixture is smooth and consistent in texture.
  3. Form Dough Balls: Shape the dough into small, uniform spheres using your hands and place them carefully on the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each to allow for spreading.
  4. Create Pattern: Use the tines of a fork to gently press down on each dough ball, forming an attractive crisscross pattern which also aids in even baking.
  5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Watch for the edges to develop a delicate golden color, indicating they are perfectly baked.
  6. Cool on Sheet: After removing from the oven, let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes so they firm up slightly.
  7. Transfer to Cooling Rack: Move the cookies carefully to a wire rack to cool completely, allowing them to achieve their final crispness.
  8. Serve: Enjoy these freshly baked peanut butter poppers warm or at room temperature for a delightful snack.

Notes

  • Ensure peanut butter is smooth for easiest mixing and best texture.
  • Do not overbake; cookies will firm up as they cool.
  • For a nuttier flavor, try using natural or crunchy peanut butter.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
  • Can be frozen for longer storage; thaw at room temperature before serving.
