Make Easy Peanut Butter Cookies

This is an easy, fun, and tasty peanut butter cookie recipe that is quick and can be made easily by kids and adults.

Ingredients

 * 1/4 cup oil
 * 1 cup of peanut butter
 * 1 cup of sugar
 * 1 cup of flour
 * 1 egg
 * 1 tsp of baking powder

Steps

 * 1) Preheat your oven to 350ºF.
 * 2) Mix egg, peanut butter, flour, oil, sugar, and baking powder together. Stir until well blended. Make sure egg is stirred well and no longer visible.
 * 3) Spoon even-sized amounts on a cookie sheet. If desired, use the back of a fork to press into the dough, making the traditional criss-cross peanut butter cookie design.
 * 4) Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes. To test the cookies, put a toothpick through one. If it comes out clean, they're ready.
 * 5) After removing the cookies from the oven, let them sit for a couple minutes to cool.
 * 6) Use a spatula to place cookies on plate or cooling rack if desired. Enjoy them when they've cooled!

Tips

 * You don't have to put in an exact full cup of peanut butter. If you measure it out and get it pretty much full, don't worry about it.
 * If you have dough left over, add it to the cookies before baking to make them larger (if some of them are a little small).
 * Mix the eggs and sugar in first, then mix in the peanut butter. It's a lot easier this way.

Warnings

 * Be careful when taking cookies out of the oven. If you are a child and need assistance, ask an adult.
