Ingredients:

  • 250g (1 cup) Creamy peanut butter
  • 200g (1 cup) Granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg (approx. 50g)
  • 5ml (1 tsp) Vanilla extract
  • 2g (1/2 tsp) Maldon flaky sea salt

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven. Set your rack to the middle position and heat to 180°C. Note: This ensures the cookies start setting immediately upon entry.
  2. Mix the base. In a medium bowl, combine the 250g peanut butter, 200g sugar, and the large egg.
  3. Emulsify the dough. Use a spatula to fold and press the ingredients together for approximately 60 seconds until the oils emulsify and the dough becomes glossy and stiff.
  4. Add aromatics. Stir in the 5ml of vanilla extract until the scent is uniform throughout the mixture.
  5. Shape the spheres. Scoop approximately 1.5 tablespoons of dough per cookie and roll into smooth spheres between your palms.
  6. Arrange the tray. Place the balls on a parchment lined baking sheet, leaving at least 5cm (2 inches) between them.
  7. Create the pattern. Use the tines of a fork to press a cross hatch pattern into each ball, until the dough is slightly flattened and the edges just begin to crack.
  8. Season and bake. Sprinkle the 2g of Maldon flaky sea salt over the tops and bake for 10 minutes.
  9. Monitor the edges. Remove from the oven until the edges are golden and the centers look slightly underbaked.
  10. Cool completely. Leave the cookies on the hot tray for at least 5 minutes. Note: Carryover cooking is what finishes the center without burning the bottom.
