- Peanut butter: This recipe starts with one cup of peanut butter. For these cookies, commercial peanut butter (like Jif or Peter Pan) works better than natural brands.

You'll find the full, step-by-step recipe below — but here's a brief overview of what you can expect when you make these incredibly easy peanut butter cookies:
Mix all the ingredients until smooth. Form the dough into balls and flatten with a fork. Bake in the preheated oven until the cookies are golden brown on the bottoms. They will harden a little as they cool.
How to Store Easy Peanut Butter Cookies

Can You Freeze Easy Peanut Butter Cookies?

Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 egg
Directions
-
Gather the ingredients, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
Mix peanut butter, white sugar, and egg in a medium bowl until smooth.
-
Roll mixture into 1-inch balls and place 1 inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet; flatten each with a fork, making a criss-cross pattern.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until cookies are just barely brown on the bottoms, about 6 to 8 minutes. They can become too crumbly if they are overcooked. Cool on the baking sheets briefly before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serve and enjoy!

My co-worker just finished this book and was absolutely astounded by how much she loved it!
Filled with knowledge that only comes from a life fully lived, The Correspondent is a gem of a novel about the power of finding solace in literature and connection with people we might never meet in person. It is about the hubris of youth and the wisdom of old age, and the mistakes and acts of kindness that occur during a lifetime.
Sybil Van Antwerp has throughout her life used letters to make sense of the world and her place in it. Most mornings, around half past ten, Sybil sits down to write letters—to her brother, to her best friend, to the president of the university who will not allow her to audit a class she desperately wants to take, to Joan Didion and Larry McMurtry to tell them what she thinks of their latest books, and to one person to whom she writes often yet never sends the letter.
Sybil expects her world to go on as it always has—a mother, grandmother, wife, divorcee, distinguished lawyer, she has lived a very full life. But when letters from someone in her past force her to examine one of the most painful periods of her life, she realizes that the letter she has been writing over the years needs to be read and that she cannot move forward until she finds it in her heart to offer forgiveness.
Sybil Van Antwerp’s life of letters might be “a very small thing,” but she also might be one of the most memorable characters you will ever read.
