About the Main Ingredients:
- Peanut Butter: Peanut butter not only provides the main flavor for these cookies but also acts as a binding agent, helping to hold the cookies together. Use creamy peanut butter for the best texture.
- Sugar: Granulated sugar sweetens the cookies and helps to create a crispy texture on the outside while keeping the inside soft and chewy.
- Egg: The egg acts as a leavening agent, helping the cookies to rise slightly and giving them a light and fluffy texture.
