Beat the peanut butter with sugar, then add in the egg and mix on medium until completely combined.

Scoop out dough and place on parchment-lined baking sheets 2 inches apart.

Bake at 350 degrees for 7-10 minutes depending on the size you make. Do not overbake, they will firm up as they cool on the baking sheet.

*before baking cookies you can sprinkle them with coarse kosher salt for a salty-sweet version or sugar if you prefer.
