Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar

- Scoop tablespoon-sized balls onto the baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.

Notes
Tips for Best Flavor
• Use regular creamy peanut butter (like Jif or Skippy) for best texture—natural PB can be crumbly.
• For softer cookies, don’t overbake.
• Let them cool completely—they firm up as they set. Optional Easy Variations (still simple!)
• Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top before baking
• Press a chocolate chip into the center after baking
