Preheat the OvenPreheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent the cookies from sticking.
Mix the IngredientsIn a medium-sized bowl, combine 1 cup of peanut butter and 1 cup of sugar. Stir well until smooth and well-combined. Add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
Shape the DoughUsing a spoon, scoop out small portions of dough (about 1 inch in diameter) and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each ball.
Flatten the CookiesUsing a fork, gently press down on each dough ball to flatten it. Create a crisscross pattern by pressing the fork down in two directions.
Bake the CookiesPlace the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies turn golden brown. Be sure not to overbake them.
