Preheat your oven to 350ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine peanut butter, coconut sugar, egg, and baking soda. Stir well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated. The mixture should be smooth and slightly gooey, which is perfect for cookie dough.
If you want to add a pinch of salt, now’s the time! A dash can enhance the flavors beautifully, especially if you’re using unsalted peanut butter.
Using a tablespoon, drop the cookie dough onto the lined baking sheet, leaving some space between each scoop.
Next, take a fork and gently flatten each mound of cookie dough, making a criss-cross pattern on top.
Now, pop the baking sheet into the preheated oven. Bake the cookies for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until they are lightly golden.
Once baked, let the cookies cool on the pan for about 10 minutes. This waiting period allows them to firm up before transferring them to a wire rack.
After they’ve cooled slightly, transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your cookies at room temperature, or if you prefer a firmer texture, place them in the freezer for a while.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
