Follow these simple steps to create delicious Peanut Butter Cookies:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix Peanut Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and granulated sugar. Stir until smooth and well combined.
3. Add Egg: Crack the egg into the mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Add the baking soda, vanilla extract, and salt to the bowl. Stir until the dough comes together.
5. Shape Cookies: Using a tablespoon, scoop the dough and roll it into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
6. Flatten: Use a fork to gently press down on each cookie, creating a crisscross pattern on top.
7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
8. Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
