Peanut Butter Cookies

These are the easiest cookies to make with only a few simple ingredients. It takes only about 5 mins prep time, and I am sure that anyone can do this. And they are so delicious, you just can't stop at one.

1. For best results, weigh the ingredients with a digital scale.

2. Preheat oven at 350F or 180C.

3. In a bowl, add all ingredients, mix with a spatula until well combined and a dough is formed.

4. Use a measuring spoon or cookie scoop to ensure that the cookies are of the same size.

5. Shape the dough into balls and gently flatten with hands for the chunky dough. It is more difficult to make the signature criss cross patterns with the chunky dough as it can get smashed due to its coarse texture. However, for the smooth dough, it is much easier to make criss cross patterns with a fork.

6. Bake for 12 to 16 mins. If you prefer a softer texture, then just bake for a shorter time (about 12 mins) and for a crispier texture, bake for a longer time (about 15 to 16 mins or slightly longer). It is best to set a timer for 2 mins interval so that you can check on the doneness to prevent burning.

7. Cool the cookies on a wire rack. Once they are completely cooled, they will firm up and become crispy.

8. Store in airtight containers after they are completely cooled.
