Ingredients

▢ 1 cup creamy peanut butter
▢ ½ cup granulated sugar
▢ 2 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
▢ 1 egg

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, and an egg.
Stir well until the mixture forms a smooth, thick dough. Make sure all ingredients are evenly combined.
Scoop out small portions of the dough (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into balls.
Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Use the back of a fork to gently press down on each dough ball, creating a criss-cross pattern on the top.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are firm. The centers may still look slightly soft, but they will firm up as the cookies cool.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the tray for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Storage Instructions:

At room temperature
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Make sure the cookies are fully cooled before storing to prevent moisture from making them soggy.

In the freezer
To store the cookies for a longer period, freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet until solid (about 1 hour). Then transfer the cookies to a freezer-safe bag or airtight container, separating layers with parchment paper. They can be frozen for up to 3 months.
