Preheat oven to 350F (175C). line a baking tray with a parchment paper.
In a large bowl mix peanut butter, sugar and egg.
Roll into 16 small balls. place then onto prepared baking sheet. Flatten each ball with a fork, making a crisscross pattern.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, until cookies begin to brown. Transfer to a cooling rack and Let cool.

Use Natural Peanut Butter – For best results, use natural peanut butter with no added oils or sugar. If using regular peanut butter, the texture may be slightly different.
Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a sealed container for up to 3 months.
Don’t Overbake – These cookies will still be soft when they come out of the oven. They firm up as they cool, so don’t wait for them to be fully set in the oven.
Customizing Sweetness – If you prefer a less sweet cookie, you can reduce the sugar slightly. However, this may affect the texture.
Making the Dough Less Sticky – If the dough feels too sticky to roll, chill it in the fridge for 15-20 minutes before shaping.
