Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup peanut butter Use any creamy or crunchy variation, keeping it halal-friendly.

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  3. Form small balls of dough, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Using a fork, gently press down on the cookies to create a criss-cross pattern.
Baking
  1. Bake for 8-10 minutes, watching for the edges to turn slightly golden.
  2. Once baked, let the cookies cool on the sheet for a couple of minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes
