To make these peanut butter cookies, I started by dumping some smooth peanut butter into a large mixing bowl.

I added some light brown sugar and an egg to the bowl with the peanut butter.

I used an electric mixer to cream all of the ingredients together until smooth.

Then I rolled the cookie dough into balls approximately one inch in diameter.

I placed the cookie dough balls on a parchment lined baking sheet leaving about two inches between them.

Then I used a fork to flatten the balls.

I pressed down on the balls a second time at a 90 degree angle to make a criss-cross pattern.

I placed the baking sheet in the oven and baked the cookies for 7 minutes until they were just slightly browning around the bottom edges.

I removed the pan from the oven and left the cookies to cool on the pan for about 5 minutes.

After 5 minutes I transferred the cookies to wire racks to finish cooling.

Then the chewy peanut butter cookies were ready to serve.
