EASIEST EVER PB COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone mat.
• With an electric mixer, beat together the peanut butter, brown sugar and egg until well combined. Stir in the chocolate chips with a wooden spoon.
• Lightly wet your hands and form the mixture into 12 balls. Place the balls about 1 inch apart on the baking sheet. Lightly wet the tines of a fork and press a criss-cross pattern into the top of each cookie. Lightly sprinkle them with flaky sea salt.
• Bake until just starting to brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then remove to a rack to cool completely before eating.

THE LAST PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES RECIPE YOU'LL EVER TRY

Steps:

• Cream peanut butter and margarine, add sugars and mix well.
• Add eggs and mix until creamy.
• Add remaining ingredients.
• Chill for one hour-I usually skip this step and chill between batches.
• Drop by teaspoonful onto cookie sheets- do not flatten.
• Bake at 325°F for 15 minutes.
• Cool on cookie sheets for about 5 minutes then transfer onto newspaper- the newspaper soaks up extra grease so the cookies don't become crumbly, little trick I learned from my MIL- this is also optional.
• Edited to add - Immediately after the cookies are completely cooled I always transfer them to an airtight container. Several posters have mentioned the cookies get hard if you leave them out. I have never had that problem - these cookies have always stayed soft and moist if they are stored in an airtight container.
