Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure they are at room temperature for best mixing consistency.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and sugar. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well blended and create a smooth, uniform texture.
- Crack the egg into the peanut butter and sugar mixture. Whisk or stir vigorously until the egg is completely incorporated and the mixture becomes slightly lighter in color.
- Sprinkle the baking soda over the mixture and fold it in gently, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Place a large, flat skillet or griddle on the stove top and set to low-medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with cooking spray or a thin layer of butter.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop small rounds of dough onto the heated surface, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
- Cook the cookies for approximately 3-4 minutes on the first side, watching carefully to prevent burning. The edges will start to look slightly set and dry.
- Carefully flip each cookie using a spatula and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown.
- Remove the cookies from the skillet and transfer to a cooling rack or plate. Allow them to cool for 5-10 minutes to firm up.
- Serve and enjoy your stovetop cookies warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
Tips
- Temperature is Key: Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for smoother mixing and consistent cookie texture.
- Low and Slow: Use low-medium heat to prevent burning and achieve even cooking.
- Space Matters: Leave enough room between cookies on the skillet to prevent them from merging together.
- Watch Carefully: These cookies cook quickly, so keep a close eye to avoid overcooking.
- Non-Stick Surface: Use a well-seasoned skillet or non-stick griddle for easy cookie removal.
- Consistent Size: Use a cookie scoop or spoon to create uniform cookie sizes for even cooking.
- Cooling is Crucial: Allow cookies to cool for 5-10 minutes to let them firm up and develop the perfect texture.
