Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
Take a large mixing bowl and add peanut butter, sugar, and the egg.
Mix everything well until smooth dough is formed.
Scoop out some dough and roll it into a small ball with your hands.
Place cookie balls on a nonstick or greased baking tray.
Use a fork to press down the balls and make a criss-cross pattern on top.
Bake for 8–10 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Take them out and let them cool before eating.
