Ingredients:
– 1 cup creamy peanut butter
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 large egg
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– Pinch of salt

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined.
3. Add the egg, vanilla extract, baking soda, and a pinch of salt to the bowl. Mix everything together until the cookie dough forms.
4. Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, scoop out portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
5. Use a fork to create a crisscross pattern on top of each cookie, gently pressing down to flatten the dough slightly.
6. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the cookies are lightly golden.
7. Once done, remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
